12.70.17 mkstemps

Gnulib module: mkstemps

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

• This function is missing on many non-glibc platforms: glibc 2.10, Minix 3.1.8, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 10, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 9, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
• This function is declared in <unistd.h> instead of <stdlib.h> on some platforms: Mac OS X 10.5.
• On platforms where off_t is a 32-bit type, mkstemps may not work correctly to create files larger than 2 GB. (Cf. AC_SYS_LARGEFILE.)

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

The gnulib module clean-temp can create temporary files that will not be left behind after signals such as SIGINT.
