--- Comment #3 from Mark Wielaard <mark at klomp dot org> ---
What would be the way forward?

I recently needed a mkstempat to make sure I had something to use with dirfd
based unlinkat and renameat and handcoded it:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/elfutils-devel/[email protected]/T
It works, but I needed to guess at things that glibc really should do better,
selecting a random source, picking allowed filename characters, etc.

Should this go through gnulib first? Does it need a different interface?
Should it be standardized? (through which standard?)
