mkstemp question!!!

[zynnel]

i have a question on using mkstemp (creating a temporary file).
as currently written, my code creates the temporary file correctly but it doesn't want to write the testinput in it. any ideas why?

	char *filename = "tempXXXXXX";
	char *testinput = "testing input data...";
	FILE *tempfile;
	int fd;

	fd = mkstemp(strdup(filename));
	tempfile = fdopen(fd, "w+");
	fprintf(tempfile, testinput);

much appreciation to whoever could help me!

Perhaps you should actually read how the function works. If you did, you'd see something like:

Since it will be modified, template must not be a string constant, but should be declared as a character array.

You could of course actually pay attention to the return valud also...
