"Issue 8
Austin Group Defect 251 is applied, encouraging implementations to disallow the 
creation of filenames containing any bytes that have the encoded value of a 
<newline> character.
Austin Group Defects 411, 1318, and 1350 are applied, adding mkostemp().
Austin Group Defect 652 is applied, adding the [EINVAL] error for mkstemp().
Austin Group Defect 1734 is applied, replacing the error conditions specified 
only for mkdtemp() with a reference to mkdir()."

Those functions are not in Standard C or draft C 203Y (below);
mkstemp is POSIX from 200112 and no longer in XSI;
mkostemp/s requires || __POSIX_VISIBLE >= 202405 (from _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 
202405L) - in newlib, and also in glibc below;
all require POSIX features enabled by some definition;
from Linux 6.15 mkstemp(3):

"Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

	mkstemp():
	    _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500
		|| /* glibc >= 2.12: */ _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
		|| /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE

	mkostemp():
	    _GNU_SOURCE"

[I use C 203Y because there is almost no chance another C Standard will be 
released this decade; especially as current POSIX has not yet been adopted by 
ISO, as it has to be passed through the IEEE Partner Standards Development Org 
(PSDO) FDIS "fast-track" process with Edition 2 ballot close on 2026-01-24.]
