in thread Handling returns from mkdir.

Hi marto,

Thats actually what I was looking for..managed to use the built in command instead.

I have been trying to find other errors reported by $!(File exists being the only one that kept coming up with the code), without any luck.

I know this sounds pretty silly but, can you please tell me how i can find them(maybe a list of some sort)....im still a newbie.

Thanks for all the help so far!!

    On the system documented by this man page, mkdir can return the following:
    • EACCES
    • EEXIST
    • EFAULT
    • ELOOP
    • ENAMETOOLONG
    • ENOENT
    • ENOMEM
    • ENOSPC
    • ENOTDIR
    • EPERM
    • EROFS

    Those constants are provided by Errno and via %!. Don't rely on the stringification except for display purposes, because that depends on the system's locale.
