Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Argument
 
    path    String expression representing the directory to be created
 
  Description
 
    The MkDir procedure creates a specified directory. MkDir works the
    same as the DOS command MKDIR or MD.
 
    The path argument may be any legal DOS path, and may include the
    shorthand directory notation '.' and '..'.
 
    If a directory or file by the name given in path already exists, an
    I/O error occurs.
 
    To prevent a program from halting with a run-time error when an I/O
    error occurs, turn off I/O checking with {$I-} and check the return
    value of the IOResult function.
