MakeDirectory Method

Makes a directory.

Syntax

hadoopdfs.makeDirectory(newDirPath, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method makes a new directory at NewDirPath and returns the full path of the new directory. Any non-existent parent directories will also be created.

If the CreatePermission configuration setting is non-empty, the directory will be created with the permission it specifies. Otherwise, the server's default (755) will be used.
