not the same as solars mktemp(1)
subtle difference is if the creat/mkdir happens or not
and if it does -u does an unlink/rmdir
-u Operate in unsafe mode. The temp file is
unlinked before mktemp exits. This is
slightly better than mktemp(3C), but still
introduces a race condition. Use of this
option is discouraged.
