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.
