Detailed Description

Generate and return .true. if the attempt to create a temporary directory fails.
Otherwise return .false. and set the output path to the newly created temporary directory.

The procedures of this generic interface attempt to create a unique temporary directory wihtin a parent directory that is either,

  1. specified by the user as the input parent, or
  2. the system-designated temporary directory returned by isFailedGetDirTemp, or
  3. the current working directory.
Parameters
[out]path: The output allocatable scalar character of default kind SK containing a POSIX-style or Windows-style path to the temporary directory the procedure creates.
If the procedure fails, the allocation status or contents of path will be undefined.
[in]parent: The input scalar character of default kind SK containing the parent directory within which the temporary directory should be created.
(optional, default = either the system-specified temporary directory or the current working directory)
[in,out]errmsg: The input/output scalar character of default kind SK of arbitrary length type parameter.
If present and an error occurs, it is assigned an explanatory message describing the nature of the error that has occurred.
If the length of errmsg is too short for the output error message, the message tail will be clipped as needed.
A length of 2047 characters for errmsg is likely enough to capture most error messages in full.
(optional. If missing, no error message will be output.)
Returns
failed : The output scalar logical of default kind LK. It is .true. if and only if an error occurs while creating the temporary directory.

Test:

Todo:
Normal Priority: The current Fortran standard 202x does not allow passing characters of non-default kind to the intrinsic Fortran statements and procedures.
This generic interface should be extended to in the future to support non-default character kinds when they fully supported by the Fortran intrinsic procedures.
