 My man page (Linux man-pages 6.04, 2023-03-30) says that both tmpnam and tmpnam_r are deprecated, and you should use mkstemp(3) or tmpfile(3) instead.
 

It doesn't work.
The only way I can get the Baby X shell to run nano is to use tmpnam().
I've tried mkstemp insteaad, and I just can't find a way.
tmpfile() is a different kind of a function. Only on very constrained
systems will it actually write anything to the backing store.
