Summary:
It is not clear in the Microsoft C and QuickC online and printed
documentation for the mktemp() function exactly how many filenames
mktemp() can create. These references state the following:
When creating new names, mktemp uses, in order, "0" and the
lowercase letters "a" to "z".
This information is correct; however, the documentation fails to
mention that these are the only filenames that are created. Any
further calls to mktemp() after these characters have been used will
fail (that is, once "z" has been placed in the template). Therefore,
the limit on the number of unique filenames that can be created by
mktemp() is 27.
