NAME

create directory - Creates a directory

SYNOPSIS

cdscp create directory directory-name [clearinghouse clearinghouse-name]

ARGUMENTS

directory-name
The full name of the directory.

clearinghouse clearinghouse-name
The optional name of the clearinghouse in which to create the directory.

DESCRIPTION

The create directory command creates a directory with the name that you specify.  If you do not specify a clearinghouse, the Cell Directory Service (CDS) creates the master replica of the directory in the same clearinghouse as the new directory’s parent directory. 

Privileges Required

In order to create a directory, you must have r (read) and i (insert) permission to the parent directory, and w (write) permission to the clearinghouse in which the master replica of the new directory is to be stored.  In addition, the server principal must have r (read) and i (insert) permission to the parent directory. 

NOTES

To ensure that all replicas are consistent, perform an immediate skulk of the parent directory after issuing this command. 

This command is replaced at DCE Version 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE. 

EXAMPLES

The following command creates a directory named /.:/sales. 

cdscp create directory /.:/sales
