The one specified by mdoc is hard to read for non-native speakers from countries which read the date day-first (like Germany, Greece, North-Korea, Swamp,...). This is also consistent with how we generally specify dates at suckless.org.

|
.Sh SYNOPSIS

|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl dqtu
|
|
.Op Fl p Ar directory
|
|
.Op Ar template
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
creates a temporary file by generating a unique filename with
|
|
.Ar template ,
|
|
which has to have at least six 'X's appended to it. If no
|
|
.Ar template
|
|
is specified, a default of 'tmp.XXXXXXXXXX' is used and the
|
|
tmpdir set to '/tmp' or, if set, the TMPDIR environment variable.
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Create a temporary directory instead of a file.
|
|
.It Fl p Ar directory
|
|
Use the specified
|
|
.Ar directory
|
|
as a prefix when generating the temporary filename. The directory will be
|
|
overridden by the user's
|
|
.Ev TMPDIR
|
|
environment variable if it is set. This option implies the
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
flag (see below).
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Fail silently if an error occurs.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Generate a path rooted in a temporary directory.
|
|
.It Fl u
|
|
Unlink file before
|
|
.Nm
|
|
exits. This is slightly better than
|
|
.Xr mktemp 3
|
|
but still introduces a race condition. Use of this option is not encouraged.
