     Name
          mkdir - Creates a directory.

     Syntax
          #include <direct.h>

          int mkdir(path)
          char *path;

     Description
          The mkdir function creates a new directory with the
          specified path. Only one directory can be created at a time,
          so only the last component of path can name a new directory.
          The mkdir function does not do any translation of path-name
          delimiters. Both DOS and OS/2 accept either ``\'' or ``/''
          as valid delimiters within path names.

     Return Value
          The mkdir function returns the value 0 if the new directory
          was created. A return value of -1 indicates an error, and
          errno is set to one of the following values:

            Value    Meaning
            EACCES   Directory not created.
                     The given name is the
                     name of an existing
                     file, directory, or
                     device.

            ENOENT    Path name not found.

     Example
          #include <direct.h>

          main()
           {
                  int result;

                  result = mkdir("b:\\tmp");
                  if (result == 0)
                          printf("Directory 'b:\\tmp' successfully
          created\n");
                  else
                          printf("Problem creating directory
          'b:\\tmp'\n");

                  result = mkdir("tmp\\sub");
                  if (result == 0)
                          printf("Directory 'tmp\\sub' successfully
          created\n");
                  else
                          printf("Problem creating directory
          'tmp\\sub'\n");
           }

          This program uses mkdir to create the directories b:\tmp and
          tmp\sub.
