Thread: mkdir function and errno

Hi everyone!
Here is a silly question!

The mkdir function:
int mkdir (const char *filename, mode_t mode)

has the following errnos:
EACCES, EEXIST, EMLINK, etc....

How can I find which one of these errors occurred when mkdir() function fails?

Code:

int status = mkdir(  "project1/testdir", (S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO)  )

if(status == 0)
    printf("success");
else
{
    printf("error");
    // find which error occurred???
}

By examining the value of errno.

I should've looked into the errno before asking this question..... silly me!

Thanks again!
