 That make five times you've posted this message today. If you don't get
an answer by Monday night (after all, it is a weekend -- and holiday
weekend for the US -- so may be fewer readers around) then try giving a
better description.

 Based upon https://sourceforge.net/p/net-snmp/patches/319/ I'd assume
you would still need to provide some location on the file system that is
RW...

"""
      The mkstemp() function generates a unique temporary filename from
       template, creates and opens the file, and returns an open file
       descriptor for the file.

       The last six characters of template must be "XXXXXX" and these are
       replaced with a string that makes the filename unique.  Since it
will
       be modified, template must not be a string constant, but should be
       declared as a character array.

       The file is created with permissions 0600, that is, read plus write
       for owner only.  The returned file descriptor provides both read and
       write access to the file.  The file is opened with the open(2)
O_EXCL
       flag, guaranteeing that the caller is the process that creates the
       file.
