NAME

mktemp - Create a temporary file or directory.

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

Create a temporary file or directory.

OPTIONS

-d, --directory

Make a directory instead of a file

-u, --dry-run

do not create anything; merely print a name (unsafe)

-q, --quiet

Fail silently if an error occurs.

--suffix=SUFFIX

append SUFFIX to TEMPLATE; SUFFIX must not contain a path separator. This option is implied if TEMPLATE does not end with X.

-p=DIR

short form of --tmpdir

--tmpdir=DIR

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

-t

Generate a template (using the supplied prefix and TMPDIR (TMP on windows) if set) to create a filename template [deprecated]

-h, --help

Print help

-V, --version

Print version

[template]
