What about creating temporary folder subfolders, though? Looking at
the mkstemp man page, it doesn't sound as though mkstemp supports
making folders. If one wishes to write property-list-style data, the
file descriptor from mkstemp() would be inadequate unless on wishes
to convert to NSData, right?
Best wishes,
Andrew

Any method based on generating/getting a name and then testing for
existence and creating a folder or file with that name has a race
condition. See the mkstemp man page for a better solution:
The mkstemp() function makes the same replacement to the
template and
creates the template file, mode 0600, returning a file
descriptor opened
for reading and writing. This avoids the race between testing
for a
file's existence and opening it for use.

Wincent
