mktemp - Create a temporary file or directory.

mktemp [-d|--directory] [-u|--dry-run] [-q|--quiet] [--suffix] [-p ] [--tmpdir] [-t ] [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [template]

Create a temporary file or directory.

Make a directory instead of a file
do not create anything; merely print a name (unsafe)
Fail silently if an error occurs.
append SUFFIX to TEMPLATE; SUFFIX must not contain a path separator. This option is implied if TEMPLATE does not end with X.
short form of --tmpdir
interpret TEMPLATE relative to DIR; if DIR is not specified, use $TMPDIR ($TMP on windows) if set, else /tmp. With this option, TEMPLATE must not be an absolute name; unlike with -t, TEMPLATE may contain slashes, but mktemp creates only the final component
Generate a template (using the supplied prefix and TMPDIR (TMP on windows) if set) to create a filename template [deprecated]
