15 * will be created in the temporary directory (more on that later).
16 * If pfx_in is not null, then the temporary file location will be
17 * defined by the value pfx_in.
19 * The file created will be at the pathname specified appended with
20 * 6 random (we hope :) characters.
22 * The return value will be the pathname to the file created.
24 * CAUTION: The return pointer references static data. If
25 * you need to modify, or save, the return string, make a copy of it
28 * When pfx_in is null, the temporary directory is determined as

37 * For example, if you want to create a temp file in the defined
38 * temporary directory, but with a custom basename prefix, do
39 * something like the following:
41 * char *tmp_pathname = m_mktemp2(NULL, "mypre", ...);

92 * supports this, this version is when the directory is defined by
93 * a separate variable from the prefix, eliminating the caller from having
94 * to do string manipulation to generate the desired. pathname prefix.
96 * The pfx_in parameter specifies a basename prefix for the file. If dir_in
97 * is NULL, then the defined temporary directory (see comments to m_mktemp()
98 * above) is used to create the temp file.
