NAME

mktemp - create a temporary file or directory

SYNOPSIS

mktemp [OPTION]... [TEMPLATE]

DESCRIPTION

Create a temporary file or directory, safely, and print its name. If TEMPLATE is not specified, use tmp.XXXXXXXXXX.

-d, --directory
create a directory, not a file
-q, --quiet
suppress diagnostics about file/dir-creation failure
-u, --dry-run
do not create anything; merely print a name (unsafe)
--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 even here, mktemp still creates only the final component.
-p DIR
use DIR as a prefix; implies -t [deprecated]
-t
interpret TEMPLATE as a single file name component, relative to a directory: $TMPDIR, if set; else the directory specified via -p; else /tmp [deprecated]
--help
display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
