Well, it's part of Microsoft's C runtime library. It isn't included in the definition of the C language, but is a Microsoft extension. (Borland's is similar - it's called mkdir(), without the leading underscore.) > (this is the first time I heard of) > > is there a book dedicated for CRT?

I'm trying to > find out which books I should look for where from. The POSIX (UNIX) API has a function named mkdir(). The Microsoft C runtime library has imitated the POSIX one to some extent for a long time, but often the MS functions have a "_" prefix. (It's a good thing, too, in this case, because POSIX mkdir() has two parameters whereas I suspect that _mkdir() only has one.) -- Ben Pfaff http://benpfaff.org |
