Funny how the man page does not say that this is derived from OpenBSD.

That's not correct!  Ben was so kind not to quote the entire manpage
but only its relevant paragraphs.  I read a strange attitiude between
your lines.  Anyway, here is the end of that manpage:

BUGS
     The BSD -d option, which uses mkdtemp(2),  is not supported under Linux.

SEE ALSO
     mkstemp(3),  mktemp(3),  tempfile(1)

HISTORY
     The mktemp utility appeared in OpenBSD.

BSD Experimental              November, 20, 1996                             2

So OpenBSD gets proper credits, no need to be annoyed.

Regards,

        Joey

HISTORY
     The mktemp utility appeared in OpenBSD 2.1.

OpenBSD 2.5                    November 20, 1996                             2
