  @defun make-temp-file prefix &optional dir-flag suffix
  @tindex make-temp-file
! This function creates a temporary file and returns its name.
! The name starts with @var{prefix}; it also contains a number that is
! different in each Emacs job.  If @var{prefix} is a relative file name,
! it is expanded against @code{temporary-file-directory}.

  @defun make-temp-file prefix &optional dir-flag suffix
  @tindex make-temp-file
! This function creates a temporary file and returns its name.  Emacs
! creates the temporary file's name by adding to @var{prefix} some
! random characters that are different in each Emacs job.  The result is
! guaranteed to be a newly created empty file.  On MS-DOS, this function
! can truncate the @var{string} prefix to fit into the 8+3 file-name
! limits.  If @var{prefix} is a relative file name, it is expanded
! against @code{temporary-file-directory}.

  @defun make-temp-name string
! This function generates a string that can be used as a unique file name.
! The name starts with @var{string}, and contains a number that is
! different in each Emacs job.  It is like @code{make-temp-file} except
! that it just constructs a name, and does not create a file.  Another
! difference is that @var{string} should be an absolute file name.  On
! MS-DOS, this function can truncate the @var{string} prefix to fit into
! the 8+3 file-name limits.

  @defun make-temp-name string
! This function generates a string that can be used as a unique file
! name.  The name starts with @var{string}, and has several random
! characters appended to it, which are different in each Emacs job.  It
! is like @code{make-temp-file} except that it just constructs a name,
! and does not create a file.  Another difference is that @var{string}
! should be an absolute file name.  On MS-DOS, this function can
! truncate the @var{string} prefix to fit into the 8+3 file-name limits.
