mkdir
mkdir(path, [mode])
Make a new directory with name path and permissions mode. mode defaults to 0o777, modified by the current file creation mask.
Examples
-
Create a directory with default permissions:
julia> mkdir("new_directory")This example creates a new directory named "new_directory" in the current working directory with default permissions (
0o777). -
Create a directory with specific permissions:
julia> mkdir("new_directory", 0o755)This example creates a new directory named "new_directory" in the current working directory with permissions set to
0o755. -
Create nested directories:
julia> mkdir("path/to/nested/directory")This example creates a nested directory structure. It creates directories "path", "to", "nested", and "directory" in the current working directory.
- Create a directory with an absolute path:
julia> mkdir("/absolute/path/to/directory")This example creates a directory with an absolute path. It creates directories "absolute", "path", "to", and "directory" in the root directory.
Common mistake example:
julia> mkdir("existing_directory")
ERROR: mkdir: file exists (EEXIST)In this example, the directory "existing_directory" already exists. Make sure to provide a unique name or check if the directory exists before calling mkdir to avoid this error.
