permissions for mkdir

[Luiz Valdetaro]

Hi,

I have a need to have my C library to create subdirectories under the /data/data/package/files folder. My library attempts to use mkdir() , but it fails with errno 13 (Permission denied). DOes teh C library inherits the same permission from Java? I have sucessfully written stuff into the files folder from Java, but never attempted to create a directory from Java; Any ideas?

Yes, it does. Are you using absolute paths? There is no reason this shouldn't work. Which mode value are you using?

Absolutely!  Your question about mode lead me to the solution. Thanks!

What exactly was the solution?

The mkdir() function has a mode argument. I was not using it.
