fmkpath()

int fmkpath	(	mode_t	mode,
		const char *	fmt,
			...
	)

Formatted version of mkpath().

Parameters

mode	A mode_t mode to create directories with
fmt	Formatted string to be composed into a pathname

Note

Notice the swapped arguments, compared to mkpath()!

POSIX OK(0) on success, otherwise -1 with errno set.

makepath()

int makepath

(

const char *

dir

)

Create all components of the specified directory.

Parameters

dir	Directory to create.

Note

It is strongly recommended to use mkpath() over this function since it has the mode argument while this function default to 0777, which in most cases is insecure.

Returns

POSIX OK (0) on success, otherwise -1 and errno set appropriately.

Exceptions

EINVAL	on bad argument, or
ENOMEM	when it fails allocating temporary memory.

For other error codes see the mkdir(2) syscall description.

makepath() but takes a mode_t argument.

Parameters

dir	Directory to created, relative or absolute
mode	A &mode_t mode to create dir with
