Pattern: Use of deprecated tempfile
Issue: -
tempfile is a Debian specific utility for creating temporary files. Its man page notes:
tempfile is deprecated; you should use mktemp(1) instead.
Neither tempfile nor mktemp are POSIX, but tempfile is Debian specific while mktemp works on GNU, OSX, BusyBox, *BSD and Solaris.
Example of incorrect code:
tmp=$(tempfile)Example of correct code:
tmp=$(mktemp)ShellCheck will not recognize when a function overrides this name.
