I've written a program which creates a directory using the system call mkdir()
How can i execute 'mkdir -v' using this system call? is there another system call to include options?
What does the mkdir -p flag do? i.e the '-p' part?

I just rebuilt my system from cd CentOS5.5
Went to make a dir and got this...
The command took a while to come back. I googled it but nothing came back.
Could this be hadw error? The drive is new. I was able to issue the command again and have it work.
The setup ( although dont trust anything I say ):
I'm working on an embedded system device using a NFS mounted rootfs ( as shared by my host ) , but I store large video content directly on the device's hdd in /data.
Device's hdd partition /dev/sda3 is ext3 fs mounted at /tmp/mnt/diska3 (rw), then I have a script create dirs like /tmp/mnt/diska3/data and /tmp/mnt/diska3/data/incoming, then symlink :
ln -s /tmp/mnt/diska3/data /data so that the /data appears like any other directory.
I can see /tmp/mnt/diska3/data/incoming. I did chmod -R a+w tmp to rule out permissions.
Running a subsequent script calls mkdir: mkdir -p /data/incoming/gui
BUT fails: mkdir: cannot create directory '/data/': No such file or directory
I cannot mkdir on an ancillary HDD

"You'll probably want to operate from inside your home directory. If your user is (for example) username, your home directory will be /home/username/. For the rest of this section we will assume you have downloaded your zip file to /home/username/src. If you do not have a src directory, you can create it with the following "mkdir" (make directory) command:"
Where do the commands go? I cant make it work in terminal. How do I get back to "home" from where i am now? example /home/mydesktop/. I am working in mydesktop. I have downloaded some packages that pkcon search will not find, but when I try to install them using "synaptic" it cant find the packages i dl. So I found this tutorial.
"So, we have our source package in /home/username/src/.
Change to the /home/username/src/ directory with the "cd" (change directory) command like so: cd /home/username/src/
but I dont know where to write the commands.
I was to set up a cronjob that sends its output to a logfile, i want that log file to be unique. the easiest way to set this up would be to make the directory in the script, then output the command to that directory, they call that directory via is full path in cron (because cron only uses full path names.
This does not work
keep in mind the command "/bin/mkdir -p /tmp/pw_log/`date +20%y%m%d_%H%M%S`.log" works fine on the command line - but once I put it in the shell, it does not work.
Code:
This won't work in a script but it WILL work on the commandline...
Here is my output when I try the script:

Also, what is the at the end of the path in the error?

I am a student studying computer science course.
Well, I am facing problem when doing lab questions.
I must use DLXLinux bundled in Bochs (bochs.sourceforge.net).
I am required to use the /usr/local directory.
In /usr directory, there is no directory named 'local' but there is one thing called 'local@'. So, when I try to use mkdir command to create 'local' directory in /usr , there are error "cannot make directory.....".
Look at my screenshot at [url].
I am working on a bash script which among its operations creates directories using the mkdir command. However, when the directory already exists mkdir mentions that in the command line output.
Is there any way I can make mkdir silently overwrite any existent directory? (no messages in the output). For the same price, could it be done with other commands such as cp or mv?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having a bit of trouble understanding umask and mkdir in C++. In my program, I want to create a directory with the permissions 755.
If I do:-

The permissions come out all messed up.
But if I do:-

The permissions are set as expected.
I am having trouble understanding why umask(0); is needed, and what is the 'proper' way to use it so I can make my directory. From what I can understand from the man pages and everything, I need to set the umask in my program to allow it permission to make a directory with those permissions? And I don't get why umask(0); fixes it anyway!
I have a line of code from a csh script:Code:if ( ! -e TEST ) mkdir TESTit checks if the directory "TEST" exists and if it DOES exist then nothing happens, if it DOES NOT exist then directory TEST will be made. Now I want to use this in a sh (or bash) script. Does anybody know the equivalent of the line above for sh?

I cannot find the syscall_table.S or entry.S file in the source code , so i didn't made the entry of the syscall in this file, how much necessary the entry of syscall presence in this list and how to get this file?
I am searching for any system call similar to "ls" command we use in shell. My requirement is knowing the files and directories in curent working directory and process them based on there type. Here as of now I spawn another procees with system command like system
("sh ls -l | grep ^d | awk '{print $9}'").
Instead of this I want to use any system command where I can capture this information directly into my local character buffer. My opinion is that system calls will not spawn another process as a result less time it takes, another reason is once I use the system command again I need to capture the information to a local file then again read it into local buffer. I want to avoid the file manipulation here.
