create_directory

create directory(1m)													      create directory(1m)

NAME

       create directory - Creates a directory

SYNOPSIS

       cdscp create directory directory-name [clearinghouse clearinghouse-name]

ARGUMENTS

       The full name of the directory The name of the clearinghouse in which you create the directory.

DESCRIPTION

       The  create  directory  command	creates a directory with the name that you specify. If you do not specify a clearinghouse, CDS creates the
       master replica of the directory in the same clearinghouse as the new directory's parent directory.

   Privilege Required
       You must have the following permissions in order to create a directory: read and insert permission to the parent directory;  write  permis-
       sion to the clearinghouse in which the master replica of the new directory is to be stored.

       In addition, the server principal must have read and insert permission to the parent directory.

NOTES

       To ensure that all replicas are consistent, perform an immediate skulk of the parent directory after issuing this command.

       This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

EXAMPLE

       The following command creates a directory named /.:/sales.  cdscp> create directory /.:/sales

RELATED INFORMATION

       Commands: delete directory(1m), list directory(1m), set directory(1m), set directory to skulk(1m), show directory(1m)

															      create directory(1m)
