Bug#34793: a more advanced mkstemp() would be cool



Package: libc6
Version: 2.1.1-0.1
Severity: wishlist

mkstemp() only supports the XXXXXX template at the end of the filename -
this is an annoying limitation when you want to make a temp file with a
known extension securely with either the syscall or mktemp(1).

I think mkstemp() should support putting the XXXXXX anywhere in the
filename.
