NAME
       mktemp - Create a temporary file or directory.

SYNOPSIS
       mktemp  [-d|--directory]	 [-u|--dry-run]	 [-q|--quiet]  [--suffix]  [-p ] [--tmpdir] [-t ] [-h|--help] [-V|--version]
       [template]

DESCRIPTION
       Create a temporary file or directory.

OPTIONS
       -d, --directory
	      Make a directory instead of a file

       -u, --dry-run
	      do not create anything; merely print a name (unsafe)

       -q, --quiet
	      Fail silently if an error occurs.

       --suffix 
	      append SUFFIX to TEMPLATE; SUFFIX must not contain a path separator. This option is implied if  TEMPLATE	does
	      not end with X.

       -p 
	      short form of --tmpdir

       --tmpdir[=]
	      interpret	 TEMPLATE relative to DIR; if DIR is not specified, use $TMPDIR ($TMP on windows) if set, else /tmp.
	      With this option, TEMPLATE must not be an absolute name; unlike with -t, TEMPLATE may contain slashes, but mk‐
	      temp creates only the final component

       -t     Generate a template (using the supplied prefix and TMPDIR (TMP on windows) if set) to create a  filename	tem‐
	      plate [deprecated]

       -h, --help
	      Print help

       -V, --version
	      Print version

       [template]
