NAME
       mktemp - create a temporary file or directory

SYNOPSIS
       mktemp [OPTION]... [TEMPLATE]

DESCRIPTION
       Create a temporary file or directory, safely, and print its name.  TEM‐
       PLATE must contain at least 3 consecutive `X's in last  component.   If
       TEMPLATE is not specified, use tmp.XXXXXXXXXX, and --tmpdir is implied.
       Files are created u+rw, and directories	u+rwx,	minus  umask  restric‐
       tions.

       -d, --directory
	      create a directory, not a file

       -u, --dry-run
	      do not create anything; merely print a name (unsafe)

       -q, --quiet
	      suppress diagnostics about file/dir-creation failure

       --suffix=SUFF
	      append  SUFF  to	TEMPLATE.   SUFF must not contain slash.  This
	      option is implied if TEMPLATE does not end in X.

       --tmpdir[=DIR]
	      interpret TEMPLATE relative to DIR.  If DIR  is  not  specified,
	      use  $TMPDIR 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

       -p DIR use DIR as a prefix; implies -t [deprecated]

       -t     interpret	 TEMPLATE as a single file name component, relative to
	      a directory: $TMPDIR, if set; else the directory	specified  via
	      -p; else /tmp [deprecated]

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit
