NAME

6       lfc_mkdir - create a new LFC directory in the name server

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <sys/types.h>
10       #include "lfc_api.h"
11
12       int lfc_mkdir (const char *path, mode_t mode)
13

DESCRIPTION

15       lfc_mkdir creates a new LFC directory in the name server.
16
17       An  entry  is  created  in the name server database and the directory's
18       owner ID is set to the effective user ID of the requestor.   The  group
19       ID  of  the directory is set to the effective group ID of the requestor
20       or is taken from the parent directory if the latter has the S_ISGID bit
21       set.
22
23       The  access permission bits for the directory are taken from mode, then
24       all bits set in the requestor's file mode  creation  mask  are  cleared
25       (see lfc_umask(3)).  The S_ISGID, S_ISUID and S_ISVTX bits are silently
26       cleared.
27
28       path   specifies the logical  pathname  relative  to  the  current  LFC
29              directory or the full LFC pathname.

RETURN VALUE

32       This  routine  returns  0  if the operation was successful or -1 if the
33       operation failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately.
