Create Directory or Folder with C/C++ Program
Last Updated :
30 Nov, 2022
Problem: Write a C/C++ program to create a folder in a specific directory path. This task can be accomplished by using the mkdir() function. Directories are created with this function. (There is also a shell command mkdir which does the same thing). The mkdir() function creates a new, empty directory with name filename.
// mkdir() function
int mkdir (char *filename)
Note: A return value of 0 indicates successful completion, and -1 indicates failure.
- Program to create a directory in Windows using Turbo C compiler:
Directory created.
a.out geeksforgeeks main.c
- Program to create a directory in Linux/Unix using GCC/G++ compiler:
CPP
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
if (mkdir("geeksforgeeks", 0777) == -1)
cerr << "Error : " << strerror ( errno ) << endl;
else
cout << "Directory created";
}
|
Directory created.
Note: Above source codes would not run on online IDEs as the program requires the directory path in the system itself.
