mkdtemp - create a unique temporary directory

#include <stdlib.h>

char *mkdtemp(char *template);

Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

The mkdtemp() function generates a uniquely named temporary directory from template. The last six characters of template must be XXXXXX and these are replaced with a string that makes the directory name unique. The directory is then created with permissions 0700. Since it will be modified, template must not be a string constant, but should be declared as a character array.

The mkdtemp() function returns a pointer to the modified template string on success, and NULL on failure, in which case errno is set appropriately.
