Thank you for your submission. What is the use case of this program? The use case of the program is to create a variable number of files with similar names, but unpredicatble suffixes that can be used to create a file as a temporary information storage, or to be used when needed within a shell script. Version 1.0 is consciously minimal and meant to be simple, useful and secure, with more version's intended with more control capabilities for fine-tuning. I really don't see what this program does that you cannot achieve by running mktemp(1) in a loop. And even what it achieves does not seem to be particularly useful. |
