Package: manpages-dev
Version: 2.02-2
Severity: minor

Quite simply, the man pages for tempnam.3 and mktemp.3 both say to use
mkstemp.3 but that man page says to never use the function and
recommends using tmpfile.3.  tmpfile.3 seems happy to be called.

I hope that tmpfile() really is a secure call ... people seem confused.
