[comp.unix.programmer] What is "mkstemp"

ilan343@violet.berkeley.edu (Geraldo Veiga) (03/01/91)

I am trying to port cvs to system V.  I found all missing parts except
for a function called  "mkstemp". It  probably exists under SUN OS, CVS
runs on Suns.   Can anyone with a Sun on her/his desk tell me what this
function does?  Better yet, a replacement that works in a saner OS!!!

Thanks in advance
