mkdir
Make new directory
Calling Sequence
mkdir('dirname') mkdir('parentdir','newdir') status=mkdir( ... ) [status,msg]=mkdir( ... )
Description
mkdir('dirname') creates the directory dirname in the current directory, if dirname represents a relative path. Otherwise, dirname represents an absolute path and mkdir attempts to create the absolute directory dirname
mkdir('parentdir','dirname') creates the directory dirname in the existing directory parentdir, where parentdir is an absolute or relative pathname.
[status,message] = mkdir(...,'dirname') creates the directory dirname in the existing directory parentdir, returning the status, a message. Here, status is 1 for success, 2 if it already exists, -2 if it is a filename and 0 otherwise.
Examples
// Absolute pathname mkdir(TMPDIR+"/mkdir_example_1") status_2 = mkdir(TMPDIR+"/mkdir_example_2") [status_3,msg_3] = mkdir(TMPDIR+"/mkdir_example_3") // Absolute pathname (parentdir + dirname) [status_4,msg_4] = mkdir(TMPDIR,"mkdir_example_4") // Relative pathname cd TMPDIR; [status_5,msg_5] = mkdir("mkdir_example_5") [status_6,msg_6] = mkdir("mkdir_example_5/mkdir_example_6")
