Description Jeffrey Stedfast 2008-03-28 17:14:42 UTC 
I've found that it is often nice to have a function similar to mkdtemp() when writing a variety of applications. I've now implemented my own mkdtemp() equivalent over 3 times in various GNOME apps, so I think it might qualify as being useful to put into glib :)

This is a dupe of bug 118563.
Over there, I commented that it might be a good idea to also add an analogue of g_file_open_tmp.

void g_dir_create_tmp (const gchar  *tmpl,
                       gchar       **name_used,
                       GError      **error);


At the very least this will have to wait until 2.19 opens at this point.
