STemp - Secure tempfile extension for Ruby

Pure Ruby tempfile implementations appear to suffer from well-known race conditions. The ‘mkstemp’ family of functions now popular on Linux & *BSD attempt to work around these issues. This module makes them available to Ruby programmers on platforms where they are present.

Note that you should set your umask appropriately when using this library: not all implementations of these functions use a reasonable file creation mask by default.
