It returns both. But looking at it, you probably actually want
temp_file() since mkstemp() needs a filename template as an argument,
while temp_file knows how to make one.
   local file, filename = temp_file() -- calls mkstemp($TMPDIR/mtn.XX)
   file:close() -- because we don't need it
   -- filename = $TMPDIR/mtn.XXXX
should work?
