DESCRIPTION

14       Make a temporary randomly named file given a filename `template'.
15
16       `template'  is a string giving the format of the generated filename and
17       should include one or more capital Xs.  The Xs are replaced with random
18       alphanumeric  characters,  produced using a simple pseudo-random number
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.
