Hrmm, I don't think it's removed.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int fd = 0;
    char storage[100] = "/tmp/testXXXXXX";
    
    fd = mkstemp(storage);
    write(fd, "123456789\n", strlen("123456789\n"));

    printf("file is %s\n", storage);
    close (fd);
}

I still have the files sitting around, complete with contents.

I don't know... I like the idea of giving someone a filename and
letting them do what they want with it, which may or may not include
opening the file.
