This message doesn't correspond to the change below (which removes a reference to "tempnam" and adds a reference to "mktemp". But also, I don't think it makes systems more secure to remove the info that tempnam is influence by TMPDIR. And, this patch is surely not correct. Yes, TMPDIR influences tmpfile(3). But how does TMPDIR influence mktemp(3), mkstemp(3), and mkdtemp(3), which base the temporary filename on a path supplied by the caller? Finally, a request for patches: the format of the subject line should rather be: [PATCH ...] environ.7: Do not document...
