Int 21H, AH=39H

Version

2 and higher

Brief

“MKDIR” - CREATE SUBDIRECTORY

Family API

Input

      AH = 39h
      DS:DX -> ASCIZ pathname

Return

CF clear if successful

          AX destroyed
      CF set on error
          AX = error code (03h,05h) (see #01680 at AH=59h/BX=0000h)

Notes

all directories in the given path except the last must exist fails if the parent directory is the root and is full

DOS 2.x-3.3 allow the creation of a directory sufficiently deep that it is not possible to make that directory the current directory because the path would exceed 64 characters

under the FlashTek X-32 DOS extender, the pointer is in DS:EDX
