✨ MKSTEMP ✨ (POSIX Programmer's Manual, section 3P)

okay bestie, buckle up, this one is short but it's iconic 💅

🫶 PROLOG

So this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. That's the vibe. But — and this is important, no cap — the Linux implementation of this interface may differ, so you gotta consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the details of Linux behavior. Or, plot twist 🙈, the interface might not be implemented on Linux at all. Either way, don't come for me, come for the standard.

🌸 NAME

mkstemp — create a unique file

literally that's the whole job description, and she does it flawlessly 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS

#include <stdlib.h>

int mkstemp(char *template);

🦋 DESCRIPTION

Refer to mkdtemp().

that's it. that's the description. she's giving minimalist, she's giving mysterious, she's pointing you at her sister function and walking away 🚶♀️✨ iykyk
