I attached a unified diff against "mktemp.1" revision "1.13.2.1".

The synopsis section is modified to

     mktemp [-d] [-q] [-u] [-t prefix | template ...]

In the description section, the user is informed about argument
order requirements to ensure that options are not interleaved
with "template" arguments; clarification is added on how the
internal template, optional prefix values and templates apply;
that one of "-t prefix" or "template" must be given is stated.

In the options section, the case where both "-t prefix" and
"template" are present is clarified.
