That's not correct! Ben was so kind not to quote the entire manpage
but only its relevant paragraphs. I read a strange attitiude between
your lines. Anyway, here is the end of that manpage:
BUGS
The BSD -d option, which uses mkdtemp(2), is not supported under Linux.
SEE ALSO
mkstemp(3), mktemp(3), tempfile(1)
HISTORY
The mktemp utility appeared in OpenBSD.
BSD Experimental November, 20, 1996 2
So OpenBSD gets proper credits, no need to be annoyed.

Joey
