.SH NAME
mkdir \- create a directory
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B int mkdir(path,mode);
.br
.B char *path;
.br
.B int mode;
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.I mkdir\^
function creates a new directory with name
.IR path\^ .
The mode of the new directory is initialized from
.IR mode\^ .
The protection part of the
.I mode\^
argument is modified by the process's file creation mask (see
.IR umask\^ (2)).
.P
The directory's owner
.SM ID
is set to the process's effective user ID.
Depending on the host system,
the directory group ID is set either to
the group ID of its parent directory
or to the process's effective group ID.
.P
The newly created directory is empty
except that it may contain entries for
``\s+2.\s0'' and ``\s+2..\s0''.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
A return value of 0 indicates success.
A return value of \-1 indicated that an error has occurred
and an appropriate error code is stored in
.IR errno\^ .
No directory is created if the return value is \-1.
.SH NOTE
This function is compatible with the definition in the
IEEE 1003.1
standard.
.SH EXAMPLE
The following program is compiled by the command
.br
	$ \fIcc \|\-I/vld/include \|example.c \|/vld/lib/libVMB.a\fP
.sp
.P
	#include <stdio.h>

		if ( argc < 2 \|||\| mkdir( argv[1], 0777 ) != 0 )
.br
			{
.br
			(void) fputs( ``mkdir failed'', stderr );
.br
			exit( 1 );
.br

.br
		return 0;

.SH NAME
rmdir \- remove a directory
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B int rmdir(path);
.br
.B char *path;
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.I rmdir\^
function removes a directory whose name is given by
.IR path\^ .
The directory must not have any entries other than, possibly,
``\s+2.\s0'' and ``\s+2..\s0''.
.P
Depending on the host system,
it may be possible to remove the root
or current working directory.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
A return value of 0 indicates success.
A return value of \-1 indicated that an error has occurred
and an appropriate error code is stored in
.IR errno\^ .
.SH NOTE
This function is compatible with the definition in the
IEEE 1003.1
standard.
