mkdir()                  Create a New Directory
 
 #include   <direct.h>                   Required for declarations only
 
 int        mkdir(pathname);
 char       *pathname;                   Path name of new directory
 
    mkdir() creates the new directory 'pathname'.
 
    Returns:    Zero if new directory was created, or -1 on error. On
                error, 'errno' is set to:
 
                    EACCES     Directory not created. Specified name
                               already exists, or
                    ENOENT     Path name not found
 
      Notes:    Only one directory can be created at a time. This means
                that all but the last name of the path must specify an
                existing directory. That is, if the directory to be
                created is "c:\base\camp\out_post", then "\base\camp"
                must already exist.
 
  -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------
 
    The following statements try to create a directory and print a
    message indicating whether or not the effort was successful.
 
         #include <direct.h>
 
         int result;
 
         main()
         {
             if ((result = mkdir("/tstmkd/new_one")) < 0)
                printf("error creating new directory");
             else
                 printf("new directory created");
         }
