NAME

lfc_mkdirg - create a new LFC directory in the name server with the specified GUID

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h>
#include "lfc_api.h"

int lfc_mkdirg (const char *path, const char *guid, mode_t mode)

DESCRIPTION

lfc_mkdirg creates a new LFC directory in the name server with the specified GUID.

An entry is created in the name server database with the given GUID and the directory's owner ID is set to the effective user ID of the requestor. The group ID of the directory is set to the effective group ID of the requestor or is taken from the parent directory if the latter has the S_ISGID bit set.

The access permission bits for the directory are taken from mode, then all bits set in the requestor's file mode creation mask are cleared (see lfc_umask(3)). The S_ISGID, S_ISUID and S_ISVTX bits are silently cleared.

guid

specifies the Grid Unique IDentifier.

path

specifies the logical pathname relative to the current LFC directory or the full LFC pathname.
