...mkstemp! I meant, and I think I might still somewhat favor keeping the correspondence between a mkstemp! and mkdtemp! that have the same semantics, and more or less directly match their POSIX functions. Though if we thought it was worth it, I suppose we could also provide trivial mkstemp and mkdtemp wrappers (without the exclamation points), that do the extra copy for you. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org GPG as of 2011-07-10 E6A9 DA3C C9FD 1FF8 C676 D2C4 C0F0 39E9 ED1B 597A GPG as of 2002-11-03 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 73A4
