# Command: tmpnam

NEST HelpDesk | Command Index | NEST Quick Reference

Name:

    tmpnam - Generate a string that is a valid non-existing file-name.

Synopsis:

    tpmnam -> filename

Description:

      This command is a thin wrapper around the POSIX.1 tmpnam() kernel function.
      The tmpnam function generates a string that is a valid filename and
      that is not the name of an existing file. The tmpnam function
      generates a different name each time it is called, (up to a number of
      times that is defined by the compiler macro TMP_MAX).
