# Function ethcore_util::standard::fs::create_dir_all 1.0.0 [−] [src]

    pub fn create_dir_all<P>(path: P) -> Result<(), Error> where P: AsRef<Path>

Recursively create a directory and all of its parent components if they are missing.

# Platform-specific behavior

This function currently corresponds to the `mkdir` function on Unix and the `CreateDirectory` function on Windows. Note that, this may change in the future.

# Errors

This function will return an error in the following situations, but is not limited to just these cases:

- If any directory in the path specified by `path` does not already exist and it could not be created otherwise. The specific error conditions for when a directory is being created (after it is determined to not exist) are outlined by `fs::create_dir`.

# Examples

    use std::fs;

    try!(fs::create_dir_all("/some/dir"));

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
