SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdio.h>

     FILE *tmpfile(void);

DESCRIPTION
     tmpfile() creates a temporary file using a name generated by
     the  tmpnam()  routine  and  returns  a  corresponding  FILE
     pointer.  If the file cannot be opened, a  NULL  pointer  is
     returned.   The  file is automatically deleted when the pro-
     cess using it terminates or when the file  is  closed.   The
     file is opened for update (``w+'').
