68 TEMPLATE must contain at least 3 consecutive 'X's in last component.\n\
69 If TEMPLATE is not specified, use tmp.XXXXXXXXXX, and --tmpdir is implied.\n\
72 Files are created u+rw, and directories u+rwx, minus umask restrictions.\n\
76 -d, --directory create a directory, not a file\n\
77 -u, --dry-run do not create anything; merely print a name (unsafe)\n\
78 -q, --quiet suppress diagnostics about file/dir-creation failure\n\
81 --suffix=SUFF append SUFF to TEMPLATE; SUFF must not contain a slash.\n\
82 This option is implied if TEMPLATE does not end in X\n\
85 -p DIR, --tmpdir[=DIR] interpret TEMPLATE relative to DIR; if DIR is not\n\
86 specified, use $TMPDIR if set, else /tmp. With\n\
87 this option, TEMPLATE must not be an absolute name;\n\
88 unlike with -t, TEMPLATE may contain slashes, but\n\
89 mktemp creates only the final component\n\
92 -t interpret TEMPLATE as a single file name component,\n\
93 relative to a directory: $TMPDIR, if set; else the\n\
94 directory specified via -p; else /tmp [deprecated]\n\
