14 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull .I Mktemp
15 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull replaces
16 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull .I template
17 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull by a unique file name, and returns the
18 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull address of the template.
19 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull The template should look like a file name with eleven trailing
20 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull .LR X s.
21 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull The
22 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull .LR X s
23 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull are replaced by a letter followed by the current process id.
24 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull Letters from
25 cfa37a7b 2004-04-10 devnull .L a
