SYNOPSIS

mktemp [OPTION]... [TEMPLATE]

DESCRIPTION

Create a temporary file or directory.

Arguments:

[template]

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]

Print help

Print version
