Is there a library function that will create a directory in a Win10
console application? I can call system("mkdir") but am looking for
something like fopen(dirname, "w").

f = fopen(".\\dir\\", "w"); /* With .\\dir\\ not existing */
i = ferror(f);

crashes because (it seems) ferror doesn't like a NULL argument. (Nor
does it create .\\dir\\ before crashing!)

Trying to use creat produces error message "undefined reference to
creat". Presumably that's the linker.

Is that callable in console applications?

Yes, this code will create a directory named 'mymkdir' (under the
current directory:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
CreateDirectory("mymkdir", NULL);
return 0;
}

There is also mkdir in direct.h

Had you not drawn that to my attention it would not have occurred to me
to wonder about the difference! Thanks.
