NAME
lfc_mkdirg - create a new LFC directory in the name server with the
specified GUID
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include "lfc_api.h"
int lfc_mkdirg (const char *path, const char *guid, mode_t mode)
DESCRIPTION
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.
RETURN VALUE
This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the
operation failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
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.
