Method: FileUtils.mkdir

Defined in:

lib/fileutils.rb

.mkdir(list, mode: nil, noop: nil, verbose: nil) ⇒ Object

Creates directories at the paths in the given list (a single path or an array of paths); returns list if it is an array, [list] otherwise.

Argument list or its elements should be interpretable as paths.

With no keyword arguments, creates a directory at each path in list by calling: Dir.mkdir(path, mode); see Dir.mkdir:

FileUtils.mkdir(%w[tmp0 tmp1]) # => ["tmp0", "tmp1"]
FileUtils.mkdir('tmp4')        # => ["tmp4"]

Keyword arguments:

• mode: mode - also calls File.chmod(mode, path); see File.chmod.

• noop: true - does not create directories.

• verbose: true - prints an equivalent command:

  FileUtils.mkdir(%w[tmp0 tmp1], verbose: true)
  FileUtils.mkdir(%w[tmp2 tmp3], mode: 0700, verbose: true)
  

  Output:

  mkdir tmp0 tmp1
  mkdir -m 700 tmp2 tmp3
  

Raises an exception if any path points to an existing file or directory, or if for any reason a directory cannot be created.
