+# Ideally, one would do this in their code to import the "mktemp" call
+# directly into their current namespace:
+#
+#     require 'mktemp'
+#     include MkTemp
+#     # do something with mktemp()
+#
+#
+# It is recommended that you look at the documentation for the mktemp()

+  # This routine performs no file testing, at all. It is not suitable

+  # This routine works similarly to mkstemp(3) in that it gets a new
+  # file, and returns a file handle for that file. The mask parameter
+  # determines whether or not to process the filename as a mask by
+  # calling the tmpnam() routine in this module. This routine will
+  # continue until it finds a valid filename, which may not do what
+  # you expect.
+  #
+  # While all attempts have been made to keep this as secure as
+  # possible, due to a few problems with Ruby's file handling code, we
+  # are required to allow a few concessions. If a 0-length file is
+  # created before we attempt to create ours, we have no choice but to
+  # accept it. Do not rely on this code for any expected level of
+  # security, even though we have taken all the measures we can to
+  # handle that situation.
