Hi all,
im not able to create a directory by using mkdir API

here is my sample debugged information.

Code:

213            string userTemp = std::getenv("HOME");

(gdb)

214            userTemp += "/";

(gdb) p userTemp

$4 = {static npos = 4294967295, _M_dataplus = {<std::allocator<char>> = {<__gnu_cxx::new_allocator<char>> = {<No data fields>}, <No data fields>},

    _M_p = 0x83a0514 "/home/shamjs"}}

(gdb) n

216            if( userTemp.find_last_of("/\\") != (userTemp.size()-1) )

(gdb)

220            userTemp = userTemp + ".OlupX/";

(gdb)

224            int ret = mkdir(userTemp.c_str(), S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IROTH | S_IXOTH);

(gdb) p userTemp

$5 = {static npos = 4294967295, _M_dataplus = {<std::allocator<char>> = {<__gnu_cxx::new_allocator<char>> = {<No data fields>}, <No data fields>},

    _M_p = 0x83a079c "/home/shamjs/.OlupX/"}}

(gdb) n

227            if( stempfolder.empty() )

(gdb) p ret

$6 = -1

(gdb) n

230                    stempfolder = userTemp + stempfolder + stream.str();



i dont have any folder by name .OlupX in my home directory

waiting for your reply........

Hello,

You marked your thread as solved. Would you please share what you've found out so that others in a similar situation can see if it works for them? Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Eric

Sure Eric,

i handled the mkdir error message by

Code:

 if(ret==-1)

        {

        printf("error while creating mkdr %s\n",strerror(errno));

        }

then i got error msg as File Exists

since it was an hiden file hence by using ls it has not displayed ,so by using ls -a problem was fixed

Hi,

Thank you very much for sharing. Enjoy Linux.

Kind regards,

Eric
