Return_Value

   x                  If the name argument is the NULL pointer
                      value NULL, tmpnam returns the address of
                      an internal storage area. If name is not NULL,
                      then it is considered the address of an area
                      of length L_tmpnam (defined in the <stdio.h>
                      header file). In this case, tmpnam returns the
                      name argument as the result.
