-d, --directory
       create a directory, not a file

-u, --dry-run
       do not create anything; merely print a name (unsafe)

-q, --quiet
       suppress diagnostics about file/dir-creation failure

--suffix=SUFF
       append  SUFF  to  TEMPLATE.  SUFF must not contain slash.  This option is implied if TEMPLATE does
       not end in X.

--tmpdir[=DIR]
       interpret TEMPLATE relative to DIR.  If DIR is not specified, use $TMPDIR if set, else /tmp.  With
       this option, TEMPLATE must not be an absolute name.  Unlike with -t, TEMPLATE may contain slashes,
       but mktemp creates only the final component

-p DIR use DIR as a prefix; implies -t [deprecated]

-t     interpret TEMPLATE as a single file name component, relative to a directory: $TMPDIR, if set; else
       the directory specified via -p; else /tmp [deprecated]

--help display this help and exit

--version
       output version information and exit
