Bug ID: 298127
Summary: mktemp.1 man page needs some updates
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Manual Pages

The manual page mktemp(1) https://man.freebsd.org/mktemp/1 needs some updates.
1. It should mention the default number of X (10), and the total number of
combinations (26^10). The current example uses 6 X, which is far below the
industry standard of 10 X.
2. It should mention the default template if not specified on the command line:
/tmp/tmp.XXXXXXXXXX or ${TMPDIR:=/tmp}/<prefix>.XXXXXXXXXX
see also the openbsd man page at
https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mktemp&manpath=OpenBSD+7.9
where our man page comes from.
