# 1.0.0[−][src]Function std::fs::create_dir

    pub fn create_dir<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Result<()>

Creates a new, empty directory at the provided path

# Platform-specific behavior

This function currently corresponds to the `mkdir` function on Unix and the `CreateDirectory` function on Windows. Note that, this may change in the future.

NOTE: If a parent of the given path doesn't exist, this function will return an error. To create a directory and all its missing parents at the same time, use the `create_dir_all` function.

# Errors

This function will return an error in the following situations, but is not limited to just these cases:

- User lacks permissions to create directory at `path`.
- A parent of the given path doesn't exist. (To create a directory and all its missing parents at the same time, use the `create_dir_all` function.)
- `path` already exists.

# Examples

    use std::fs;

    fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
        fs::create_dir("/some/dir")?;
        Ok(())
    }Run

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
