On using mktemp, linux compilation gives below warning
warning: the use of `mktemp' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'
So I planned to use mkstemp.
Good.
On my HPUX box, the man page disapproves of both, calling them obsolete
(and this man page is old enough to vote, I believe...)
Everywhere else that we need to do something like this, we just use our
own PID to disambiguate, ie
sprintf(tempfilename, "/path/to/file.%d", (int) getpid());
There is no need to deviate from that pattern or introduce portability
issues, since we can reasonably assume that no non-Postgres programs are
creating files in this directory.
Thanks for the enlightenment, I will post a new version soon.
