NAME

       ns_mktemp, ns_tmpnam - commands

SYNOPSIS

       ns_mktemp template

       ns_tmpnam

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       ns_mktemp returns a unique filename based on the template you specify.  ns_tmpnam returns a filename that
       can safely be used for a temporary file.

       The template for ns_mktemp should contain a string with six trailing Xs, which will be replaced  with  an
       alpha-numeric string of six characters chosen to make the filename unique.  If template does not end with
       six trailing Xs the empty string will be returned.

       ns_tmpnam calls the tmpnam() C library function, and the results will depend on  your  operating  system.
       On  Irix,  for example, tmpnam() always generate a file name using the path-prefix defined as P_tmpdir in
       the header file which is "/var/tmp/".

EXAMPLES

        nscp> ns_tmpnam ;# On Linux
        /tmp/filevuLwaE

        nscp> ns_mktemp /tmp/foobar.XXXXXX
        /tmp/foobar.p6SlaC
