- NAME
- mkdir - make a directory file
- SYNOPSIS
- #include <sys/types.h>
- #include <sys/stat.h>
- int mkdir(const char *path, mode_t mode)
- DESCRIPTION
- Mkdir creates a new directory file with name path. The mode of the new
- file is initialized from mode. (The protection part of the mode is
- modified by the process's mode mask; see umask(2)).
- The directory's owner ID is set to the process's effective user ID. The
- directory's group ID is set to that of the parent directory in which it
- is created.
- The low-order 9 bits of mode are modified by the process's file mode
- creation mask: all bits set in the process's file mode creation mask are
- cleared. See umask(2).
- RETURN VALUE
- A 0 return value indicates success. A -1 return value indicates an
- error, and an error code is stored in errno.
- ERRORS
- Mkdir will fail and no directory will be created if:
- [ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
- [ENAMETOOLONG] The path name exceeds PATH_MAX characters.
- [ENOENT] A component of the path prefix does not exist.
- [EACCES] Search permission is denied for a component of the path
- prefix.
- [ELOOP] Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating
- the pathname. (Minix-vmd)
- [EROFS] The named file resides on a read-only file system.
- [EEXIST] The named file exists.
- [ENOSPC] The directory in which the entry for the new directory is
- being placed cannot be extended because there is no space
- left on the file system containing the directory.
