DESCRIPTION
     The  explain_mkstemp_or_die  function is used to call the mkstemp(3) system
     call. On failure an explanation will be printed to  stderr,  obtained  from
     the explain_mkstemp(3) function, and then the process terminates by calling
     exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

     The explain_mkstemp_on_error function is used to call the mkstemp(3) system
     call.  On	failure  an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from
     the explain_mkstemp(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

	     The template, exactly as to be  passed  to  the  mkstemp(3)  system
	     call.

     not return.

     The explain_mkstemp_on_error function always returns the  value  return  by
     the wrapped mkstemp(3) system call.

EXAMPLE
