Description

The CreateDirectory function creates a new directory. If the underlying file system supports security on files and directories, the function applies a specified security descriptor to the new directory

Syntax

BOOL CreateDirectory( LPCSTR lpPathName, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES * lpSecurityAttributes )

Parameters

lpPathName: [input] Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the path of the directory to be created. There is a default string size limit for paths of 248 characters. This limit is related to how the CreateDirectory function parses paths.
lpSecurityAttributes: [output] Pointer to a SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES structure.The lpSecurityDescriptor member of the structure specifies a security descriptor for the new directory. If lpSecurityAttributes is NULL, the directory gets a default security descriptor. The target file system must support security on files and directories for this parameter to have an effect.

Return

TRUE the function succeeds; else false.

Examples

    }
