Method: Yast::FileUtilsClass#CheckAndCreatePath

Defined in:
library/general/src/modules/FileUtils.rb

#CheckAndCreatePath(pathvalue) ⇒ Boolean

Note:

This is an unstable API function and may change in the future

Checks whether the path (directory) exists and return a boolean value whether everything is OK or user accepted the behavior as despite some errors. If the directory doesn't exist, it offers to create it (and eventually creates it).

Parameters:

  • pathvalue (String) —

    (directory)

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    whether everything was OK or whether user decided to ignore eventual errors
