The manpages for the various ways of creating a temporary file from C are a bit scary...
tmpnam(3): "Never use this function. Use mkstemp(3) or tmpfile(3) instead." mktemp(3): "Never use mktemp()." tempnam(3): "Never use this function. Use mkstemp(3) or tmpfile(3) instead." mkstemp(3): "Don't use this function, use tmpfile(3) instead." tmpfile(3): Not suitable for most applications, because it generates a FILE* and nothing else. tmpfile(1): "tempfile creates a temporary file in a safe manner. It uses tempnam(3) to choose the name and opens it with O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_EXCL." I'm guessing that the dire warning on tempnam(3) is overblown.
