File :: makeDirectory - Create new directory

The function creates a new directory for the directory path set as file path. In order to avoid exceptions, one may check the file path by calling isDirectory().

When the path is empty or does not contain a valid path, the function throws an exception.

Implementation details

File  :: makeDirectory ( bool bFile )

The function provides required directories for the file path, i.e. directories, which do not yet exist. The path is interpreted as directory path, i.e. a directory is also created for the last name in the path.

In order to avoid creating a directory for the last name in the path, bFile has to be set to true.

  • bFile - Is location a file

    When a file location is referenced in a path, this option should be set to true and to false otherwise.
