/**
 * tempfile - A secure tmpfile() replacement
 *
 * This is the secure replacement for tmpfile() that does not exist in
 * GLIBC.  The function uses the Linux specific %O_TMPFILE and %O_EXCL
 * for security.  When the %FILE is fclose()'ed the file contents is
 * lost.  The file is hidden in the %_PATH_TMP directory on the system.
 *
 * This function requires Linux 3.11, or later, due to %O_TMPFILE.
 *
 * Returns:
 * An open %FILE pointer, or %NULL on error.
