 *\li   This function is intended to make creating temporary files

 *\li   'template' is a reserved work in C++.  If you want to complain
 *      about the spelling of 'templet', first look it up in the
 *      Merriam-Webster English dictionary. (http://www.m-w.com/)
 *
 *\li   This function works by using the template to generate file names.
 *      The template must be a writable string, as it is modified in place.
 *      Trailing X characters in the file name (full file name on Unix,
 *      basename on Win32 -- eg, tmp-XXXXXX vs XXXXXX.tmp, respectively)
 *      are replaced with ASCII characters until a non-existent filename
 *      is found.  If the template does not include pathname information,
 *      the files in the working directory of the program are searched.
 *
 *\li   isc_file_mktemplate is a good, portable way to get a template.
 *
 * Requires:
 *\li   'fp' is non-NULL and '*fp' is NULL.
 *
 *\li   'template' is non-NULL, and of a form suitable for use by
 *      the system as described above.
 *
 * Ensures:
 *\li   If result is #ISC_R_SUCCESS:
 *              *fp points to an stream opening in stdio's "w+" mode.
 *
 *\li   If result is not #ISC_R_SUCCESS:
 *              *fp is NULL.
 *
 *              No file is open.  Even if one was created (but unable
 *              to be reopened as a stdio FILE pointer) then it has been
 *              removed.
 *
 *\li   This function does *not* ensure that the template string has not been
 *      modified, even if the operation was unsuccessful.

 * Returns:
 *\li   #ISC_R_SUCCESS
 *              Success.
