my workaround is to use tempnam but docs says it's not recommended (
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/tempnam.3.html)
I believe the recommended function for this is mkstemp. [1]

Yes, using mkdtemp. [2]
Note that these functions are part of POSIX but not C99, and are not
included in D's core.stdc module.

They're declared in core.sys,posix.stdlib. -- Andrei
