 * Name: mkstemp
 *
 * Description:
 *   The mkstemp() function replaces the contents of the string pointed to
 *   by path_template by a unique filename, and returns a file descriptor
 *   for the file open for reading and writing. The function thus prevents
 *   any possible race condition between testing whether the file exists and
 *   opening it for use. The string in path_template should look like a
 *   filename with six trailing 'X' s; mkstemp() replaces each 'X' with a
 *   character from the portable filename character set. The characters are
 *   chosen such that the resulting name does not duplicate the name of an
 *   existing file at the time of a call to mkstemp().
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   path_template - The base file name that will be modified to produce
 *     the unique file name.  This must be a full path beginning with /tmp.
 *     This function will modify only the first XXXXXX characters within
 *     that full path.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   Upon successful completion, mkstemp() returns an open file descriptor.
 *   Otherwise, -1 is returned if no suitable file could be created.
