TMPNAM(3S)							    TMPNAM(3S)

NAME
       tmpnam - generate unique file name

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdio.h>

       char *tmpnam(char *s);

DESCRIPTION
       Tmpnam generates a string that is a valid file name and is not the same
       as the name of an existing file.	 Tmpnam generates a  different	string
       each  time  it  is  called,  up	to TMP_MAX times.  If called more than
       TMP_MAX times, the behavior is undefined.

RETURN VALUE
       If the argument is a null pointer,  tmpnam  leaves  its	result	in  an
       internal	  static   object  and	returns	 a  pointer  to	 that  object.
       Subsequent calls to tmpnam will modify this object.  If the argument is
       not  a  null  pointer,  it  is assumed to point to an array of at least
       L_tmpnam characters; the tmpnam function	 writes	 its  result  in  that
       array and returns the argument as its value.
