Create a temporary file or directory.
- -d,
--directory
- Make a directory instead of a file
- -u, --dry-run
- do not create anything; merely print a name (unsafe)
- -q, --quiet
- Fail silently if an error occurs.
- --suffix=SUFFIX
- append SUFFIX to TEMPLATE; SUFFIX must not contain a path separator. This
option is implied if TEMPLATE does not end with X.
- -p=DIR
- short form of --tmpdir
- --tmpdir=DIR
- interpret TEMPLATE relative to DIR; if DIR is not specified, use $TMPDIR
($TMP on windows) if set, else /tmp. With this option, TEMPLATE must not
be an absolute name; unlike with -t, TEMPLATE may contain slashes, but
mktemp creates only the final component
- -t
- Generate a template (using the supplied prefix and TMPDIR (TMP on windows)
if set) to create a filename template [deprecated]
- -h, --help
- Print help
- -V, --version
