Below programs will illustrate the use of mkdirs() function:
Example 1: Try to create a new directory named program in "f:" drive.
Output:
Directory is created
Example 2: Try to create a new directory named program1 in "f:\program" directory, but program directory is not created. We will test whether the function mkdirs() can create the parent directories of the abstract pathname if the directories are not present.
