## @deftypefn  {Function File} {@var{fname} =} tmpnam ()
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{fname} =} tmpnam (@var{dir})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{fname} =} tmpnam (@var{dir}, @var{prefix})
## Return a unique temporary file name as a string.
##
## If @var{prefix} is omitted, a value of @qcode{"oct-"} is used.
##
## If @var{dir} is also omitted, the default directory for temporary files
## (@code{P_tmpdir} is used.  If @var{dir} is provided, it must exist,
## otherwise the default directory for temporary files is used.
##
## Programming Note: Because the named file is not opened by @code{tmpnam},
## it is possible, though relatively unlikely, that it will not be available
## by the time your program attempts to open it.  If this is a concern,
## see @code{tmpfile}.  The functions @code{tmpnam} and @code{tempname} are
## equivalent with the latter provided for @sc{matlab} compatibility.
##
## @strong{Caution}: @code{tmpnam} will be removed in a future version of
## Octave.  Use the equivalent @code{tempname} in all new code.
