Function rux::unistd::mkdir

pub fn mkdir<P>(path: &P, mode: Mode) -> Result<(), Error> where
    P: NixPath + ?Sized, 

Creates new directory path with access rights mode.

Errors

There are several situations where mkdir might fail:

• current user has insufficient rights in the parent directory
• the path already exists
• the path name is too long (longer than PATH_MAX, usually 4096 on linux, 1024 on OS X)

For a full list consult man mkdir(2)

Example

extern crate tempdir;
extern crate nix;

use nix::unistd;
use nix::sys::stat;
use tempdir::TempDir;

fn main() {
    let mut tmp_dir = TempDir::new("test_mkdir").unwrap().into_path();
    tmp_dir.push("new_dir");

    // create new directory and give read, write and execute rights to the owner
    match unistd::mkdir(&tmp_dir, stat::S_IRWXU) {
       Ok(_) => println!("created {:?}", tmp_dir),
       Err(err) => println!("Error creating directory: {}", err),
    }
}
