MKDTEMP(3)		   Linux Programmer's Manual		    MKDTEMP(3)

NAME
       mkdtemp - create a unique temporary directory

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdlib.h>

       char *mkdtemp(char *template);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       mkdtemp():
	   Since glibc 2.10:
	       _BSD_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L ||
	       _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700
	   Before glibc 2.10:
	       _BSD_SOURCE

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 tem‐
	      plate is unchanged.

       Also see mkdir(2) for other possible values for errno.

VERSIONS
       Available since glibc 2.1.91.

CONFORMING TO
       POSIX.1-2008.  This function is present on the BSDs.
