in thread "unique" filename?

but the existing file can be removed by another thread in less time than 1 second. I understand why I have got downvoted, but the point is not on the method of creating the unique filename it is on how to avoid overwrinting the existing file.

Please specify your conditions when you provide a solution. I'm presuming standard Unix, where I can be reasonably assured that time().$$ is unique for a given process. If you've got some weirdo situation, please give it. I'm pretty sure you were downvoted (at least by me :) because you didn't specify your alternative context.
