mkstemp64() is a large-file version of the mkstemp() function as defined in POSIX 1003.1-2008 (ISO/IEC 9945-2009). The only difference is that the temporary file is opened with open64() instead of with open().

Return Value

On success, mkstemp64() returns the file descriptor of the temporary file. Otherwise mkstemp64() shall return -1 and set errno to indicate the error.

Errors

See mkstemp() for possible error values.
