Detailed description

The directory with the wide character name path is created with the access permissions specified by mode.

Limitation: Parent directory time stamps will not be updated with new directory creation.

#include <wchar.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
  if(wmkdir(L"Example" , 0666) < 0 )  
  {
      printf("Directory creation failed \n");
      return -1;
  }
  printf("Directory Example created \n");
  return 0;
}
