Refer to new POSIX:2008 standard.
@node mkdir
@section @code{mkdir}
@findex mkdir
POSIX specification: @url{http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/mkdir.html}
Gnulib module: mkdir
Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
When the argument ends in a slash, the function call fails on some platforms.
@item
On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function is called @code{_mkdir}
and takes only one argument. The fix (without Gnulib) is to define a macro
like this:
@smallexample
#define mkdir ((int (*)()) _mkdir)
@end smallexample
or
@smallexample
#define mkdir(path,mode) _mkdir (path)
@end smallexample
@end itemize
Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
