73 * Notes:

76 *
77 *\li	The path is prepended to an implementation-defined string and

106 * Notes:
107 *\li	'template' is a reserved work in C++.  If you want to complain
108 *	about the spelling of 'templet', first look it up in the
109 *	Merriam-Webster English dictionary. (http://www.m-w.com/)
110 *
111 *\li	This function works by using the template to generate file names.
112 *	The template must be a writable string, as it is modified in place.
113 *	Trailing X characters in the file name (full file name on Unix,
114 *	basename on Win32 -- eg, tmp-XXXXXX vs XXXXXX.tmp, respectively)
115 *	are replaced with ASCII characters until a non-existent filename
116 *	is found.  If the template does not include pathname information,
117 *	the files in the working directory of the program are searched.
118 *
119 *\li	isc_file_mktemplate is a good, portable way to get a template.
120 *
121 * Requires:
122 *\li	'fp' is non-NULL and '*fp' is NULL.
123 *
124 *\li	'template' is non-NULL, and of a form suitable for use by
125 *	the system as described above.
126 *
127 * Ensures:
128 *\li	If result is #ISC_R_SUCCESS:
129 *		*fp points to an stream opening in stdio's "w+" mode.

131 *\li	If result is not #ISC_R_SUCCESS:
132 *		*fp is NULL.

134 *		No file is open.  Even if one was created (but unable
135 *		to be reopened as a stdio FILE pointer) then it has been
136 *		removed.
137 *
138 *\li	This function does *not* ensure that the template string has not been
139 *	modified, even if the operation was unsuccessful.

141 * Returns:
142 *\li	#ISC_R_SUCCESS
