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.
