mkdtemp(3) -- Linux man page
NAME
mkdtemp - create a unique temporary directory
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
char *mkdtemp(char *template);
DESCRIPTION
The mkdtemp() function generates a uniquely-named temporary
directory from template. The last six characters of template
must be XXXXXX and these are replaced with a string that makes the
directory name unique. The directory is then created with
permissions 0700.
Since it will be modified,
template
must not be a string constant, but should be declared as a character array.
RETURN VALUE
The mkdtemp() function returns a pointer to the modified template
string on success, and NULL on failure, in which case
errno
is set appropriately.
ERRORS
- EINVAL
-
The last six characters of template were not XXXXXX.
Now template is unchanged.
- Also see mkdir(2) for other possible values for errno.
-
CONFORMING TO
