Good for you.  (No sarcasm intended, either.)

I think it's a Berkeleyism.  It appeared in 4.2.  I have no explanation for
what happened to it on SunOS 3.2; it's not there, either the thing itself
or the manpage.  I checked the one on our Gould PN9080 (UTX 2.0) and it
had a 1980 UCB copyright.  It's just a shell script, and it works essentially
the same way as the one Chris Torek posted -- no secret system calls, just
a mkdir and then create a bunch of files and remove them.

Excellent idea.
