The CreateDirectoryEx function creates a new directory with a specified path that retains the attributes of a specified template directory. If the underlying file system supports security on files and directories, the function applies a specified security descriptor to the new directory. The new directory retains the other attributes of the specified template directory. Note that CreateDirectoryEx has a template parameter, while CreateDirectory does not.
BOOL CreateDirectoryEx(
LPCTSTR lpTemplateDirectory, |
// pointer to path string of template directory |
LPCTSTR lpNewDirectory, |
// pointer to path string of directory to create |
LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttributes |
// pointer to security descriptor |
); |
Windows NT: The lpSecurityDescriptor member of the structure specifies a security descriptor for the new directory. If lpSecurityAttributes is NULL, the directory gets a default security descriptor. The target file system must support security on files and directories for this parameter to have an effect.
Windows 95: The lpSecurityDescriptor member of the structure is ignored.
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
The CreateDirectoryEx function allows you to create directories that inherit stream information from other directories. This function is useful, for example, when dealing with Macintosh directories, which have a resource stream that is needed to properly identify directory contents as an attribute.
You can obtain a handle to a directory by calling the CreateFile function with the FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS flag set. See CreateFile for a code example.
