mkstemp  creates  a  temporary  file  using  mkstemp(3),  or if the -suffix switch is available and used,
       mkstemps(3).  The file name identifies a unique, newly created file, and  always  contains  6  characters
       that appear to be random.

       The -directory switch specifies a directory in which to create the file.

       The -prefix switch specifies an initial part, before the 6 characters, of the file name.

       The  -suffix  switch  is  only  supported on platforms that provide the mkstemps(3) library function.  It
       specifies a suffix to appear after the 6 characters; if it should begin with a special character such  as
       a period, that must be explicit in suffix.

       Unlike arguments to most switches of other nmh commands, the arguments to mkstemp switches can begin with
       a dash.

       If  mkstemp successfully creates the temporary file, it prints the file name on standard output and exits
       with status 0.  On failure, it prints a diagnostic message on standard error and exits with status 1.
