NAME +

mkdir - create a directory + +

SYNOPSIS +

#include <sys/types.h> + #include <fcntl.h> + #include <unistd.h> + + int mkdir(const char *pathname, mode_t mode); + +

DESCRIPTION +

mkdir attempts to create a directory named pathname. + + mode specifies the permissions to use. It is modified by + the process's umask in the usual way: the permissions of + the created file are (mode & ~umask). + + The newly created directory will be owned by the effective + uid of the process. If the directory containing the file + has the set group id bit set, or if the filesystem is + mounted with BSD group semantics, the new directory will + inherit the group ownership from its parent; otherwise it + will be owned by the effective gid of the process. + + If the parent directory has the set group id bit set then + so will the newly created directory. + + +

RETURN VALUE +

mkdir returns zero on success, or -1 if an error occurred + (in which case, errno is set appropriately). + +

ERRORS +

EEXIST pathname already exists (not necessarily as a + directory). + + EFAULT pathname points outside your accessible address + space. + + EACCES The parent directory does not allow write permis- + sion to the process, or one of the directories in + pathname did not allow search (execute) permission. + + ENAMETOOLONG + pathname was too long. + + ENOENT A directory component in pathname does not exist or + is a dangling symbolic link. + + ENOTDIR + A component used as a directory in pathname is not, + in fact, a directory. + + ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory was available. + + + +

MKDIR(2) Linux Programmer's Manual MKDIR(2) +

+ + EROFS pathname refers to a file on a read-only filesystem + and write access was requested. + + ELOOP pathname contains a reference to a circular sym- + bolic link, ie a symbolic link whose expansion con- + tains a reference to itself. + + ENOSPC The device containing pathname has no room for the + new directory. ENOSPC The new directory cannot be + created because the user's disk quota is exhausted. + +

CONFORMING TO +

BUGS +

In some older versions of Linux (for example, 0.99pl7) all + the normal filesystems sometime allow the creation of two + files in the same directory with the same name. This + occurs only rarely and only on a heavily loaded system. + It is believed that this bug was fixed in the Minix + filesystem in Linux 0.99pl8 pre-release; and it is hoped + that it was fixed in the other filesystems shortly after- + wards. + + There are many infelicities in the protocol underlying + NFS. + +
