 /**
+ * e_file_open_tmp:
+ * @name_used: location to store the actual named used, or %NULL
+ * @error: return location for a #GError, or %NULL
+ *
+ * Convenience function wraps g_file_open_tmp() but chooses a suitable
+ * filename template using both the package name and the user name.
+ *
+ * Returns: A file handle (as from open()) to the file opened for reading
+ *          and writing.  The file is opened in binary mode on platforms
+ *          where there is a difference.  The file handle should be closed
+ *          with close().  In case of errors, -1 is returned and @error
+ *          will be set.
