We try to avoid using public entrypoints in functions.  But instead, I think you might be able to do something like this:

```c++
  // We want to construct: P_tmpdir / <14 random chars> \0
  // P_tmpdir is "/tmp" (length 4).
  // Total length must be L_tmpnam (20).
  // /tmp/ is 5 chars.
  // Random suffix is 14 chars.
  // Null terminator is 1 char.
  // Total: 5 + 14 + 1 = 20.
  
  constexpr cpp::string_view PREFIX = P_tmpdir "/";
  static_assert(PREFIX.size() + 14 + 1 == L_tmpnam, "L_tmpnam mismatch");
  inline_memcpy(buf.data(), PREFIX.data(), PREFIX.size());
```
