How to create a directory?

[sieg1974]

Hi,

I'm using gcc on Linux, and looking for the command used to create a
directory. Does anyone know it?
Thanks

Andre

This is off topic in this newsgroup. The ANSI C standard library doesn't
contain any function for creating directories. Try asking in
comp.unix.programmer or similar newsgroup.

This is why it's best to ask questions like this in an appropriate
newsgroup. The regulars in a Linux newsgroup would know that there's
no "md" function or command. (It's an alias for "mkdir" in MS-DOS.)

The question itself isn't inherently off-topic, but the proper answer
is that there's no portable way to do it in C.

/* example */
#include<sys/stat.h>

int main(int argc,char **argv){
if (argc < 2) exit(1);
mkdir(argv[1],0777);
return 0;
}

try :
$>info libc
you will find A LOT of very usefull information .

Bye .

Your reply was valid for unix type systems only. In ANSI C there is no
standard way of creating directories.
Please don't give platform-specific information so that we can maintain
topicality on the group.

mkdir(2)
CONFORMING TO
SVr4, POSIX, BSD, SYSV, X/OPEN.

If not ANSI C, then POSIX ;) which is quite a standard for me.

But is not discussed in comp.lang.c, sorry.

It would have been much better to tell the OP that his problem is not
addressed by the C standard(s) and therefore by c.l.c and then redirect
him to a NG where he is more likely to get profound information.

This has already been done, five and six days ago. What made you think
it's a good idea to place an off-topic reply right here, right now?

No offense intended. Regards,
