mkdir -- Create Directory

SYNOPSIS

 #include <sys/types.h>
 #include <sys/stat.h>

 int mkdir(char *pathname, mode_t mode);

DESCRIPTION

mkdir creates a new OpenEdition directory and pathname is the directory name. mode is the set of file permission bits for the new directory. The owner ID of pathname is set to the effective user ID of the process. The group ID of pathname is set to the owning directory's group ID.

The pathname must specify an OpenEdition HFS filename. For programs not compiled with the posix option, a style prefix may be required. For more information on specifying OpenEdition filenames, see Low-level and Standard I/O .

RETURN VALUE

mkdir returns 0 if it is successful and - 1 if it is not successful; it does not create a new directory.

EXAMPLE

The example for rewinddir also illustrates the use of mkdir.
