* MODULES.html.sh: Document tempname. * modules/mkstemp (Depends-on): Add tempname, and drop transitive dependencies. (Files): Move lib/tempname.c... * modules/tempname: ...to this new module. * m4/mkstemp.m4 (gl_FUNC_MKSTEMP): Remove tempname checks. (gl_PREREQ_TEMPNAME): Move... * m4/tempname.m4: ...to this new file. * lib/mkstemp.c (includes) [!_LIBC]: Use tempname.h. * modules/sys_stat (Depends-on): Add stat-macros. * lib/stat_.h (includes): Pick up stat macros. * m4/sys_stat_h.m4 (gl_HEADER_SYS_STAT_H): Replace <sys/stat.h> if stat macros are broken. * lib/tempname.c (includes): No need to include "stat-macros.h". (__gen_tempname) [!_LIBC]: Expose as gen_tempname. (direxists, __path_search) [!_LIBC]: Don't compile these in gnulib; the tmpdir module covers that. * lib/tempname.h: New file.

/* Generate a temporary file name based on TMPL.  TMPL must match the
   rules for mk[s]temp (i.e. end in "XXXXXX").  The name constructed
   does not exist at the time of the call to gen_tempname.  TMPL is
   overwritten with the result.

   KIND may be one of:
   GT_NOCREATE:		simply verify that the name does not exist
			at the time of the call.
   GT_FILE:		create a large file using open(O_CREAT|O_EXCL)
			and return a read-write fd.  The file is mode 0600.
   GT_DIR:		create a directory, which will be mode 0700.

   We use a clever algorithm to get hard-to-predict names. */
