Submitted by Nidhi, on November 01, 2021

Problem Solution:

In this program, we will create a specified directory in the current directory using the create_dir_all() function.

Note: The create_dir_all() function is used to create a directory if it does not exist.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to create a directory using the create_dir_all() function is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on UBUNTU 18.04 successfully.

// Rust program to create a directory 
// using create_dir_all() function

use std::fs;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    fs::create_dir_all("NewDir")?;
    println!("NewDir directory created successfully\n");
    Ok(())
}

Output:

$ rustc main.rs

$ ./main
NewDir directory created successfully

Explanation:

Here, we created a directory MyDir using the create_dir_all() function and print the appropriate message.
