filesystem.create_directory

Synopsis

local fs = require "filesystem"
fs.create_directory(p: fs.path[, existing_p: fs.path]) -> boolean
fs.create_directories(p: fs.path) -> boolean

Description

Creates the directory p as if by POSIX mkdir() with a second argument of 0777. If the function fails because p resolves to an existing directory, no error is reported.

If existing_p is given, then the attributes of the new directory are copied from existing_p.

filesystem.create_directories() calls filesystem.create_directory() for every element of p that does not already exist.

Returns whether a directory was created for the directory p resolves to.
