NAME
+ +
+ + opentemp – create a uniquely-named file
+ +
+

SYNOPSIS
+ +
+ + #include <u.h>
+ #include <libc.h> +
+ + int opentemp(char *template)
+ +
+

DESCRIPTION
+ +
+ + Opentemp replaces template by a unique file name, and returns + the address of the template. The template should look like a file + name with eleven trailing Xs. The Xs are replaced by a letter + followed by the current process id. Letters from a to z are tried + until the name of a file that does not yet exist (see access(2)) + is + generated. Opentemp then creates the file for reading and writing + and returns the file descriptor. +
+ + If no such name can be generated, opentemp returns –1. +
+ + Opentemp avoids races. Two simultaneous calls to opentemp will + never return the same name.
+ +
