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 is set appropriately.
