Managing ObjectStore

osmkdir: Creating a Rawfs Directory

 The osmkdir utility creates a directory in the rawfs.

Syntax

osmkdir [-p] [-m octal-mode] directory

Options
-p
Indicates that ObjectStore should create any missing directories that are needed to make the specified directory path exist.

 
-m octal-
mode
Indicates that the new directory has the permission mode as specified by octal-mode. Specify the protection mode that you want the directory to have. The default mode is 0700.

 
directory
Specifies a rawfs directory pathname.

Description

 You also can use osmkdir to create a nonrawfs directory. When you create a nonrawfs directory, you cannot specify a remote file-server host in the pathname of the nonrawfs directory. The osmkdir utility passes the operation to a local native utility. If you specify a remote file-server host name, ObjectStore informs you that you specified an illegal pathname. If you specify the -p option, it works if the native utility supports that feature.

API
