QlgMkdir()--Make Directory (using NLS-enabled path name)

 #include <sys/stat.h>

 int QlgMkdir(Qlg_Path_Name_T *path, mode_t mode);  

The QlgMkdir() function, like the mkdir() function, creates a new, empty directory whose name is defined by path. The difference is that the QlgMkdir() function takes a pointer to a Qlg_Path_Name_T structure, while mkdir() takes a pointer to a character string.

Limited information on the path parameter is provided here. For more information on the path parameter and for a discussion of other parameters, authorities required, return values, and related information, see mkdir()--Make Directory.

Parameters

path

(Input) A pointer to a Qlg_Path_Name_T structure that contains a path name or a pointer to a path name of the directory to be created. For more information on the Qlg_Path_Name_T structure, see Path name format.
