``++mktemp++``, ``++mkstemp++``, ``++mkstemps++`` or ``++mkdtemp++`` are useful functions to create temporary files and directories. They accept a ``++template++`` parameter which defines the path where the file should be created and which should contain at least six trailing "X"s to ensure the uniqueness of the filename.
