NAME
dpns_mkdir - create a new DPNS directory in the name server
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include "dpns_api.h"
int dpns_mkdir (const char *path,
mode_t mode)
DESCRIPTION
dpns_mkdir
creates a new DPNS directory in the name server.
An entry is created in the name server database and the directory's owner ID
is set to the effective user ID of the requestor.
The group ID of the directory is set to the effective group ID of the requestor
or is taken from the parent directory if the latter has the
S_ISGID
bit set.
The access permission bits for the directory are taken from
mode,
then all bits set in the requestor's file mode creation mask are cleared (see
dpns_umask(3)).
The
S_ISGID,
S_ISUID
and
S_ISVTX
bits are silently cleared.
- path
-
specifies the logical pathname relative to the current DPNS directory or
the full DPNS pathname.
RETURN VALUE
This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation
failed. In the latter case,
serrno
