NAME

       al_make_temp_file - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              ALLEGRO_FILE *al_make_temp_file(const char *template, ALLEGRO_PATH **ret_path)

DESCRIPTION

       Make a temporary randomly named file given a filename 'template'.

       'template' is a string giving the format of the generated filename and should include one or more capital
       Xs.  The Xs are replaced with random alphanumeric  characters,  produced  using  a  simple  pseudo-random
       number generator only.  There should be no path separators.

       If 'ret_path' is not NULL, the address it points to will be set to point to a new path structure with the
       name of the temporary file.

       Returns the opened ALLEGRO_FILE(3alleg5) on success, NULL on failure.
