NAME

       mkdirp(), rmdirp() - create, remove directories in a path

SYNOPSIS


DESCRIPTION

       creates	all  the  missing directories in the given path with the given mode (see chmod(2) for the values of mode.)  The protection part of
       the mode argument is modified by the process's file creation mask (see umask(2)).

       rmdirp removes directories in path d.  This removal starts at the end of the path and moves back toward the root as far as possible.  If an
       error occurs, the remaining path is stored in d1.  returns a 0 only if it is able to remove every directory in the path.

       To use these interfaces, link in the libgen library by specifying For example:

RETURN VALUE

       If  a  needed directory cannot be created, returns -1 and sets to one of the error numbers.  If all the directories are created, or existed
       to begin with, it returns zero.

EXAMPLES

WARNINGS

       uses to allocate temporary space for the string.

       returns if a "" or "" is in the path.  It returns if an attempt is made to remove the current directory.  If an error occurs other than one
       of these two errors, returns
