Makes a name suitable for use as the path name for a temporary file.
If successful, this program will create the output file (or directory).

The following option preset mechanisms are supported:
 - reading file /home/bkorb/.mktemprc
 - examining environment variables named MKTEMP_*

This program will create a new empty file according to a default or provided
file name pattern.  Unlike the now well-known BSD variation, by default
this program will create files and directories in temporary directories
instead of the current directory.

Parts of the name may be specified in ``<file-pat>'',
or with command line options.  These differ as follows:
@enumerate


The ``base'' option cannot specify the six (or more) substitution X-es.


The ``file-pat'' argument specifies the suffix by embedding six X-es
in the name.


You may not have both a ``base'' option and a ``file-pat'' argument.


If the ``file-pat'' specifies either a directory or a suffix, then
you must not provide the corresponding option.
@end enumerate

If successful, the program will exit with a zero status code and
print the name of the created file to stdout (unless ``--quiet'' has
been specified).
