mkostemps
---------

Gnulib module: mkostemps

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

  * This function is missing on many non-glibc platforms: glibc 2.10, MacOS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 3.8, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 11 2010-11, Cygwin 1.7.5, mingw, Interix 3.5, BeOS.

  * On platforms where off_t is a 32-bit type, mkostemps 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.
