mkdir() Directory already exists?

[rkooij]

Hi,

I'm using mkdir() to create new directories. I ask the user for a directory name, but it's very important to check whether the directory already exists, because the data in it shouldn't be overwritten.
Any idea how to do this?

Thanks in advance,

René

_stat() or stat() will probably tell you whether a directory already exists or not.
