Prototype

int mkdir(const char *path);

int _wmkdir(const wchar_t *path);

Description

Creates a directory.

mkdir is available on UNIX, though it then takes an additional parameter.

mkdir creates a new directory from the given path name path.

Return Value

mkdir returns the value 0 if the new directory was created.

A return value of -1 indicates an error, and the global variable errno is set to one of the following values:

EACCES	Permission denied
ENOENT	No such file or directory

Example

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <process.h>
 #include <dir.h>
 #define DIRNAME "testdir.$$$"
 int main(void)
 {
     int stat;
     stat = mkdir(DIRNAME);
     if (!stat)
            printf("Directory created\n");
     else
     {
        printf("Unable to create directory\n");
        exit(1);
     }
     getchar();
     system("dir/p");
     getchar();
     stat = rmdir(DIRNAME);
     if (!stat)
            printf("\nDirectory deleted\n");
     else
     {
            perror("\nUnable to delete directory\n");
        exit(1);
     }
     return 0;
 }
