I am a linux system admin for tge past 10 years and I never needed to create a temp file. I also never used the mktemp command. when you say that mktemp is often used, you scare away normal users.
Listen here normal linux users: mktemp is almost never needed for day to day linux usage.
Nice and short. Thanks.

How to use the created temp file?
