Command: tmpnam

Name:
tmpnam - Generate a string that is a valid non-existing file-name.

Synopsis:
tpmnam -> filename

Description:
This command is a thin wrapper around the POSIX.1 tmpnam() kernel function. The tmpnam function generates a string that is a valid filename and that is not the name of an existing file. The tmpnam function generates a different name each time it is called, (up to a number of times that is defined by the compiler macro TMP_MAX).
