Xcode mkdir error?

[Haxorus111]

Ok so the command mkdir in c++ makes a directory. My problem is when i declare it in Xcode it declared it as a variable.
You normally use mkdir like this
mkdir "The File"; That creates a directory(folder)
But it gives me an error when I do that and says to type it like
mkdir; leaving out the whole point of making the directory. I need to make a folder to write save data to and read it so I need this to work! BTW if you don't know what library the command is in its in the sys/stat.h library.

How exactly are you attempting to use mkdir?

Standard C for a function is not:

mkdir "The File";

as that line would never work. Plus, mkdir function takes two parameters, the path for the folder and the mode for the folder - not a single parameter.

I tested it with:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{

    mkdir("MyFolder", S_IRWXU);
    return 0;
}

and it worked flawlessly using XCode.

Like Nethfel said be sure you are using it correctly. Also, and this may sound stupid, be sure it is a cpp file. Unless you are using it with an app that uses different files (such as C, Objective-c etc.) I would just build it up from the ground in a command line tool. At least that way you have a cpp file set up.
