I'm looking to install the package for tempfile but am not finding it?possibly use mktemp but I'm not sure if there is a difference in behaviourbesides a dot notation in the temp name?$ tempfile # /tmp/file1wJzkz$ mktemp   # /tmp/tmp.IY8k24NayM
Command(s) to install tempfile on CentOS 6.4
command line;centos;tmp
The name generated by mktemp can be modified to have no dots. For example: mktemp XXXXX => 8U5ycmktemp /tmp/XXXXX => /tmp/tsjoGFrom man mktemp:DESCRIPTION   Create a temporary file or directory, safely, and print its name.  TEM   PLATE must contain at least 3 consecutive 'X's in last  component.   If   TEMPLATE is not specified, use tmp.XXXXXXXXXX, and --tmpdir is implied.   Files are created u+rw, and directories  u+rwx,  minus  umask  restric   tions.In any case, forget about tempfile, just use mktemp. The following is from man tempfile on my Debian (emphasis mine):BUGSExclusive  creation is not guaranteed when creating files on NFS partitions.  tempfile cannot make temporary directories.  tempfile is deprecated; you should use mktemp(1) instead.
