How to create a temporary directory under a directory in bash

Question

How to create a temporary directory under a directory. I tried mktemp -d -p but unable to figure out how to create temp directory under a give directory.

Please provide example with mktemp

Which platform? `mktemp` doesn't have a standard. – chepner Aug 17 '15 at 17:28 — chepner, Aug 17 '15 at 17:28
And it doesn't work when ```mktemp``` version is 1.5 – kanna Aug 18 '15 at 17:15 — kanna, Aug 18 '15 at 17:15

Try this with mktemp from coreutils:

mktemp -d -p /path/to/dir
