Creating a folder
Under Linux, how do i create a folder if it is not already created?
I have this:
sprintf(file_out, "./folder/%s", sorted[j]);
where folder is a folder, but if the folder does not exist the code wont work. is there anyway to automatically create it if its not created?
The world "folder" is never used in the linux world.Originally Posted by taurus
To create a directory you can use mkdir. mkdir is both a bash command, and a C library function (in sys/stat.h). You can use either one.
C programming resources:
GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
The C Book -- nice online learner guide
Current ISO draft standard
CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
Could I see an example of the use of the function mkdir in C

I have tried:
mkdir (const char *directory, mode_t mode);
But not really sure, doesnt work.
false alarm, found an example:
int n = mkdir("./test", S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IROTH | S_IXOTH);
