 * \brief Generate a template string suitable for use with isc_file_openunique().

 * Notes:
 *\li	This function is intended to make creating temporary files

 *
 *\li	The path is prepended to an implementation-defined string and
 *	placed into buf.  The string has no path characters in it,
 *	and its maximum length is 14 characters plus a NUL.  Thus
 *	buflen should be at least strlen(path) + 15 characters or
 *	an error will be returned.
 *
 * Requires:
 *\li	buf != NULL.
 *
 * Ensures:
 *\li	If result == #ISC_R_SUCCESS:
 *		buf contains a string suitable for use as the template argument
 *		to isc_file_openunique().
 *
 *\li	If result != #ISC_R_SUCCESS:
 *		buf is unchanged.

/*!<
 * \brief Create and open a file with a unique name based on 'templet'.
 *
 * Notes:
 *\li	'template' is a reserved work in C++.  If you want to complain
 *	about the spelling of 'templet', first look it up in the
 *	Merriam-Webster English dictionary. (http://www.m-w.com/)
 *
 *\li	This function works by using the template to generate file names.
 *	The template must be a writable string, as it is modified in place.
 *	Trailing X characters in the file name (full file name on Unix,
 *	basename on Win32 -- eg, tmp-XXXXXX vs XXXXXX.tmp, respectively)
 *	are replaced with ASCII characters until a non-existent filename
 *	is found.  If the template does not include pathname information,
 *	the files in the working directory of the program are searched.
 *
 *\li	isc_file_mktemplate is a good, portable way to get a template.
 *
 * Requires:
 *\li	'fp' is non-NULL and '*fp' is NULL.
 *
 *\li	'template' is non-NULL, and of a form suitable for use by
 *	the system as described above.
 *
 * Ensures:
 *\li	If result is #ISC_R_SUCCESS:
 *		*fp points to an stream opening in stdio's "w+" mode.
 *
 *\li	If result is not #ISC_R_SUCCESS:
 *		*fp is NULL.
 *
 *		No file is open.  Even if one was created (but unable
 *		to be reopened as a stdio FILE pointer) then it has been
 *		removed.
 *
 *\li	This function does *not* ensure that the template string has not been
 *	modified, even if the operation was unsuccessful.
 *
 * Returns:
 *\li	#ISC_R_SUCCESS
 *		Success.
 *\li	#ISC_R_EXISTS
 *		No file with a unique name could be created based on the
 *		template.
 *\li	#ISC_R_INVALIDFILE
 *		The path specified was not usable by the operating system.
 *\li	#ISC_R_NOPERM
 *		The file could not be created because permission was denied
 *		to some part of the file's path.
 *\li	#ISC_R_IOERROR
 *		Hardware error interacting with the filesystem.
 *\li	#ISC_R_UNEXPECTED
 *		Something totally unexpected happened.
