PHYSFS_mkdir

Create a directory.

Header File

Syntax

int PHYSFS_mkdir(const char *dirName);

Function Parameters

const char *

dirName

New dir to create.

Return Value

(int) Returns nonzero on success, zero on error. Use PHYSFS_getLastErrorCode() to obtain the specific error.

Remarks

This is specified in platform-independent notation in relation to the write dir. All missing parent directories are also created if they don't exist.

So if you've got the write dir set to "C:\mygame\writedir" and call PHYSFS_mkdir("downloads/maps") then the directories "C:\mygame\writedir\downloads" and "C:\mygame\writedir\downloads\maps" will be created if possible. If the creation of "maps" fails after we have successfully created "downloads", then the function leaves the created directory behind and reports failure.

Thread Safety

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

Version

This function is available since PhysicsFS 1.0.0.
