fz_file_make_unique_name

Description

Create a unique file name. Given a folder (floc) a base name and an extension, this function produces a unique filename. It replaces illegal file name characters (such as ':', '/', and '\' on Windows) with '_'. It then searches the folder for a file with the same name. if one is found, a unique number is appended to the base name before the file extension is added.
