[hacknews] mkdir

henry@utzoo.UUCP (Henry Spencer) (08/10/84)

Two long-overdue utility routines have been added to the C library:
mkdir(3) and rmdir(3).  The calling sequences have been set up to
match the 4.2BSD system calls, for compatibility's sake.

With the new setuid(geteuid()) mod to the kernel, it is now possible
for mkdir(3) and rmdir(3) to cope properly with being invoked from a
setuid/setgid program.  They have been modified to do so.
