Go up one level in this thread


mkdir() is not ANSI C function, it's just Unix extension of it (maybe even
Posix, I don't know). So you can use either system-specific API call
(CreateDirectory() at Windows, mkdir() at Unix, etc), or use "system" call and
hope that if something will go wrong system will return proper error code.
