\[aq]template\[aq].

The Xs are replaced with random alphanumeric characters, produced using
a simple pseudo\-random number generator only.
There should be no path separators.
.PP
If \[aq]ret_path\[aq] is not NULL, the address it points to will be set
to point to a new path structure with the name of the temporary file.
