DESCRIPTION
This module is used to create temporary files.
The application program calls "ktempnam"
with a template filename which is used to help
identify the application routine. The type of
temporary created depends on the identifier. If
a unique temporary shared memory key is desired
then the template would look like:
"shm=XXXX"
If a file was desired then either
"XXXXXXXXX"
"file=XXXX"
would work. The convention should be as follows,
an identifier followed by an "=" equals indicator,
and finally followed by an optional template.
