Additional Information
- The Make Directory call creates and initializes a directory as specified by the pathlist. The directory contains only two entries, one for itself (.) and one for its parent directory (..).
- NitrOS-9 makes the calling process the owner of the directory.
- Because the Make Directory call does not open the directory, it does not return a path number.
- The new directory automatically has its directory bit set in the access permission attributes. The remaining attributes are specified by the byte passed in Register B. The bits are defined as follows:
| Bit | Definition |
| 0 | Read |
| 1 | Write |
| 2 | Execute |
| 3 | Public read |
| 4 | Public write |
| 5 | Public execute |
| 6 | Single-user |
| 7 | Don’t care |
