TMPFILE(3S)          INTERACTIVE UNIX System          TMPFILE(3S)



          NAME
               tmpfile - create a temporary file

          SYNOPSIS
               #include <stdio.h>

               FILE *tmpfile ()

          DESCRIPTION
               The tmpfile function creates a temporary file using a name
               generated by tmpnam(3S), and returns a corresponding FILE
               pointer.  If the file cannot be opened, a NULL pointer is
               returned.  The file will automatically be deleted when the
               process using it terminates.  The file is opened for update
               ("w+").
