I've looked at the code for mkstemp() and it looks thread-safe, but the man pages (at least for Solaris 8 and Solaris 10) don't mention if it is or isn't thread-safe. (The man pages should be updated.)
The way the code is written if more than 1 thread calls mkstemp() at the same time, and the pid is used when generating the replacement chars for the template "X" characters, then initially two threads could end up with the same filename. During the open() one of them should succeed and 1 should fail and generate a new filename. So it appears that it should be safe to use. Correct? Thanks for your input.... david.
