44 Return a prefix for temporary file names or @code{NULL} if unable to
45 find one. The current directory is chosen if all else fails so the
46 program is exited if a temporary directory can't be found (@code{mktemp}
47 fails). The buffer for the result is obtained with @code{xmalloc}.
49 This function is provided for backwards compatability only. Its use is
59 const char *base
= choose_tmpdir ();
64 temp_filename
= xmalloc (len
+ TEMP_FILE_LEN
+ 1);
65 strcpy (temp_filename

);
