 NAME

   create directory - Creates a directory

 SYNOPSIS

   cdscp create directory directory-name [clearinghouse clearinghouse-name]

 ARGUMENTS

   directory-name
             The full name of the directory

   clearinghouse-name
             The name of the clearinghouse in which you create the
             directory.

 DESCRIPTION

   The create directory command creates a directory with the name that
   you specify.  If you do not specify a clearinghouse, CDS creates the
   master replica of the directory in the same clearinghouse as the new
   directory's parent directory.

   Privilege Required

   You must have the following permissions in order to create a directory:

     +  read and insert permission to the parent directory;

     +  write permission to the clearinghouse in which the master replica
        of the new directory is to be stored.

   In addition, the server principal must have read and insert permission
   to the parent directory.

 NOTES

   To ensure that all replicas are consistent, perform an immediate
   skulk of the parent directory after issuing this command.

   This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and
   may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

 EXAMPLE

   The following command creates a directory named /.:/sales.

        cdscp> create directory /.:/sales
