9 Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
12 This function is missing on some platforms:
15 On some platforms (HP-UX 10.20, SunOS 4.1.4, Solaris 2.5.1), mkstemp has a silly
16 limit that it can create no more than 26 files from a given template. On
17 OSF/1 4.0f, it can create only 32 files per process.
19 On some older platforms, @code{mkstemp} can create a world or group
20 writable or readable file, if you haven't set the process umask to
21 077. This is a security risk.
24 Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
28 The gnulib module @code{clean-temp} can create temporary files that will not
29 be left behind after signals such as SIGINT.
