_mkdir question

[emp]

I'm using gnu c++ on Unix

I have included direct.h

My code reads

int retval=_mkdir(p ath);

Compiler keeps failing saying _mkdir undeclared(firs t use of this function)

Any clues as to how to get compiler to recognize _mkdir?

Thanks

What is make _mkdir? Or you want to use mkdir command of linux? Then you should consider using the function system()

I was missing include sys/types.h

mkdir creates a directory in c/c++ code.

It compiles now

Yes, that's one difference between C and C++. C++ requires function prototypes on all functions excemtp main().
