I also need temp files with a particular suffix.  I see OpenBSD has mkdtemp and
mkstemps.  Any idea if analogues of these exist for linux?

In searching around and looking at strace, I see that mkstemp and friends are
implemented using open.  So, maybe the best way to go is not to use FFI but
rather to implement it myself use Posix.FileSys.openf?
