mktemp
Unix command to create a temporary file or directory

mktemp is a command available in many Unix-like operating systems that creates a temporary file or directory. Originally released in 1997 as part of OpenBSD 2.1, a separate implementation exists as a part of GNU Coreutils.

There used to be a similar named C library function, which is now deprecated for being unsafe, and has safer alternatives.
