Golang program to create a specified directory with specified permission
Here, we are going to learn how to create a specified directory with specified permission in Golang (Go Language)?
Submitted by Nidhi, on April 11, 2021
Problem Solution:
In this program, we will create a specified directory with specified permission in the given path using os.Mkdir() function.
Program/Source Code:
The source code to create a specified directory with specified permission is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on the ubuntu 18.04 operating system successfully.
// Golang program to create a specified directory
// with specified permission
package main
import "fmt"
import "os"
func main() {
err := os.Mkdir("MyDir", 0666)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Unable to create directory")
} else {
fmt.Println("'MyDir' directory created successfully")
}
}
Output:
'MyDir' directory created successfully
Explanation:
In the above program, we declare the package main. The main package is used to tell the Go language compiler that the package must be compiled and produced the executable file. Here, we imported the fmt, os packages then we can use a function related to the fmt and os package.
In the main() function, we created the "MyDir" directory using os.Mkdir() function with specified "0666" permission and then print "'MyDir' directory created successfully" message on the console screen.
