| + | ======Synopsis:====== | ||
| + | $__mkdir__(<directory> [<directory> ...]) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Technical:====== | ||
| + | The <directory> argument(s) are [[what is a word|dword]] which is different | ||
| + | from most function arguments. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This function adds the following directories to the filesystem, using | ||
| + | the mkdir(3) library call. The default permissions are 0777, minus | ||
| + | the current umask value. Any number of directories may be created at | ||
| + | once. Tilde-expansion is permitted. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Practical:====== | ||
| + | This function creates one or more new directories. It is probably most | ||
| + | useful for script installers. Make sure you set your umask correctly, | ||
| + | otherwise you may inadvertently create the directory with permissions | ||
| + | that allow anyone to write to it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Returns:====== | ||
| + | <file> | ||
| + | > 0 number of directories that could not be created | ||
| + | 0 success | ||
| + | </file> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Examples:====== | ||
| + | <file> | ||
| + | $mkdir(~/myscript) probably returns "0" | ||
| + | $mkdir(~/myscript /etc/hackerz) probably returns "1" | ||
| + | </file> | ||
