int lfc_mkdirg (const char *path, const char *guid, mode_t mode)

lfc_mkdirg creates a new LFC directory in the name server with the specified GUID.

An entry is created in the name server database with the given GUID and the directory's owner ID is set to the effective user ID of the requestor. The group ID of the directory is set to the effective group ID of the requestor or is taken from the parent directory if the latter has the S_ISGID bit set.

The access permission bits for the directory are taken from mode, then all bits set in the requestor's file mode creation mask are cleared (see lfc_umask(3)). The S_ISGID, S_ISUID and S_ISVTX bits are silently cleared.

guid

specifies the Grid Unique IDentifier.

path

specifies the logical pathname relative to the current LFC directory or the full LFC pathname.

This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately.

ENOENT

A component of path prefix does not exist or path is a null pathname.

EACCES

Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix or write permission on the parent directory is denied.

EFAULT

path is a NULL pointer.

EEXIST

path exists already.

EINVAL

The length of the guid exceeds CA_MAXGUIDLEN.

ENOTDIR

A component of path prefix is not a directory.

ENOSPC

The name server database is full.

ENAMETOOLONG

The length of path exceeds CA_MAXPATHLEN or the length of a path component exceeds CA_MAXNAMELEN.

SENOSHOST

Host unknown.

SENOSSERV

Service unknown.

SECOMERR

Communication error.

ENSNACT

Name server is not running or is being shutdown.
