Return the file descriptor fid corresponding to a new temporary file with a unique name created from template.
The last six characters of template must be "XXXXXX"
and
these are replaced with a string that makes the filename unique. The file
is then created with mode read/write and permissions that are system
dependent (on GNU/Linux systems, the permissions will be 0600 for versions
of glibc 2.0.7 and later). The file is opened in binary mode and with the
O_EXCL
flag.
If the optional argument delete is supplied and is true, the file will be deleted automatically when Octave exits.
If successful, fid is a valid file ID, name is the name of the file, and msg is an empty string. Otherwise, fid is -1, name is empty, and msg contains a system-dependent error message.
