DESCRIPTION

16       'template'  is a string giving the format of the generated filename and

19       generator only.  There should be no path separators.
20
21       If 'ret_path' is not NULL, the address it points  to  will  be  set  to
22       point to a new path structure with the name of the temporary file.
