another - there is no standard function to do this. I suggest asking in a
group that deals specifically with your implementation or, at least, your
platform.

OS-level command you'd type in by hand to create a folder.

You can look after dirent.h
Hmm...

As Mr. Heathfield has already said -- there is no standard C method.
However, there are plenty of platform-specific methods available on
platforms which have "folders/directories". You need to check the
platform-specific documentation, or ask in a newsgroup where such
discussions are topical, for answers.

in the C standard, therefore anything to do with such items is
system specific and thus off-topic here. Try comp.unix.progr ammer.

mkdir(2) - create a directory
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
int mkdir(const char *pathname, mode_t mode);
DESCRIPTION
mkdir() attempts to create a directory named pathname.
The parameter mode specifies the permissions to use. It is modified
by the process’s umask in the usual way: the permissions of the
created directory are (mode & ~umask & 0777).

Bad answer. There are no specifications for folders or directories

to perform in a system independent way things like "create a folder"
"find a file" "iterate over a directory"
The pedagogic answer of sending people to news:comp.sourc es.wanted
simply doesn't work.

Any time you see that a routine requires an include file whose
name has a '/' in it, you know that the routine is not part of the
standard C library.
The OP blatantly obiously is using a platform that does suppert a filesystem
and directories, otherwise (s)he wouldn't have aske that question, would he?
So his platform will have means to create directories and the best bet is
POSIX's mkdir()

DO you have an OS?
If so what is it?
If not what is the target MCU and the compiler?

one parameter (the file name). What I use is:
#ifdef MKDIR_WITH_ONE_ PARAMETER
#define mkdir(NAME,MODE ) mkdir(NAME)
#endif
and under windows the version.h file contains:
#define MKDIR_WITH_ONE_ PARAMETER
That way mkdir works under unix/bsd/linux and windows.

why not Win32
implements mkdir but Unix systems don't implement Win32 system calls.
You'll have to run under WINE. Of course if the OP is using a mainframe
or some other system, then neither option will make sense.
