+Gnulib module: mkstemps
+
+Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
+@itemize
+@item
+This function is missing on many non-glibc platforms:
+glibc 2.10, Minix 3.1.8, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 10,
+Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 9, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
+@item
+This function is declared in @code{<unistd.h>} instead of @code{<stdlib.h>}
+on some platforms:
+MacOS X 10.5.
+@item
+On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, @code{mkstemps} may not work
+correctly to create files larger than 2 GB. (Cf. @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE}.)

+Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

+
+The gnulib module @code{clean-temp} can create temporary files that will not
+be left behind after signals such as SIGINT.
