mktemp — create a temporary file or directory
mktemp [OPTION...] [TEMPLATE]
Create a temporary file or directory, safely, and print
its name. TEMPLATE must contain at least 3 consecutive 'X's
in last component. If TEMPLATE is not specified, use
tmp.XXXXXXXXXX, and −−tmpdir is implied. Files are
created u+rw, and directories u+rwx, minus umask
restrictions.
−d, −−directorycreate a directory, not a file
−u, −−dry−rundo not create anything; merely print a name (unsafe)
−q, −−quietsuppress diagnostics about file/dir−creation failure
−−suffix=SUFFappend SUFF to TEMPLATE; SUFF must not contain a slash. This option is implied if TEMPLATE does not end in X
−p DIR, −−tmpdir[=DIR]interpret TEMPLATE relative to DIR; if DIR is not
specified, use $TMPDIR if set, else /tmp. With this option, TEMPLATE must
not be an absolute name; unlike with −t, TEMPLATE may contain slashes,
but mktemp creates only the final component
−tinterpret TEMPLATE as a single file name component,
relative to a directory: $TMPDIR, if set; else the
directory specified via −p; else /tmp [deprecated]
