DESCRIPTION
       The  mktemp  utility takes the given filename template and
overwrites a portion of it to create a unique filename.  The template
may be any  filename  with  six  (6)  `Xs' appended to it, for
example /tmp/tfile.XXXXXX.  If no template is specified a default of
tmp.XXXXXX is used and the -t flag is implied (see below).

I think all the others have 6 anyway.
