+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IR "Never use this function" ;
+see BUGS.
+.PP
+The
+.BR mktemp ()
+function generates a unique temporary filename
+from \fItemplate\fP.
+The last six characters of \fItemplate\fP must
+be XXXXXX and these are replaced with a string that makes the
+filename unique.
+Since it will be modified,
+.I template
+must not be a string constant, but should be declared as a character array.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR mktemp ()
+function always returns \fItemplate\fP.
+If a unique name was created, the last six bytes of \fItemplate\fP will
+have been modified in such a way that the resulting name is unique
+(i.e., does not exist already)
+If a unique name could not be created,
+\fItemplate\fP is made an empty string, and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+The last six characters of \fItemplate\fP were not XXXXXX.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
+.BR attributes (7).

+.SH BUGS
+Never use
+.BR mktemp ().
+Some implementations follow 4.3BSD
+and replace XXXXXX by the current process ID and a single letter,
+so that at most 26 different names can be returned.
+Since on the one hand the names are easy to guess, and on the other
+hand there is a race between testing whether the name exists and
+opening the file, every use of
+.BR mktemp ()
+is a security risk.
+The race is avoided by
+.BR mkstemp (3)
+and
+.BR mkdtemp (3).
