creation of unwanted directory
hi all
i have a file with server id's and I need to create a directory corresponding to each server id listed in the text file.
eg:
id directory name
1 node_1
2 node_2
... ..... and so on.
There is no id with value 0 in the said text file.
the program is creating the directories but also creating an extra directory node_0 when executing in one machine and does not create directory node_0 (as required) when executing in another machine.
Can anybody tell me the reason for this.
plz. help
thanx

lfc_mkdir
LFC_MKDIR(3) LFC Library Functions LFC_MKDIR(3)
NAME
lfc_mkdir - create a new LFC directory in the name server
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include "lfc_api.h"
int lfc_mkdir (const char *path, mode_t mode)
DESCRIPTION
lfc_mkdir creates a new LFC 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 lfc_umask(3)). The S_ISGID, S_ISUID and S_ISVTX bits are silently cleared.
path specifies the logical pathname relative to the current LFC directory or the full LFC 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.
ERRORS
ENOENT A component of path prefix does not exist or path is a null pathname.
EACCES Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix or write permission on the parent directory is denied.
EFAULT path is a NULL pointer.
EEXIST path exists already.
ENOTDIR A component of path prefix is not a directory.
ENOSPC The name server database is full.
ENAMETOOLONG The length of path exceeds CA_MAXPATHLEN or the length of a path component exceeds CA_MAXNAMELEN.
SENOSHOST Host unknown.
SENOSSERV Service unknown.
SECOMERR Communication error.
ENSNACT Name server is not running or is being shutdown.
