Re: mktemp()

[Chandrashekhar M Naik <chandar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

You can also get around this by having a character array instead of a
pointer.

- ---------------------------------------------
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
        char filename[20]="temp.XXXXXX";
        char *retval;

        retval=mktemp(filename) ;

        if (retval == NULL);
                perror("mktemp");

        printf("Temp file name: %s\n", s);

}
- ---------------------------------------------
I have a small problem here :
The filename is generated no doubt, but mktemp() is returning NULL.


Regards,
Shekhar
