mktemp(1)                   General Commands Manual                  mktemp(1)

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]
