Varies a little by platform, but there's likely a `mkdir()` function you can use. — Dmitri, Jul 12 '15 at 20:00
What platform are you using - Unix or Windows? Can you post some sample code that you've tried? — mjturner, Jul 12 '15 at 20:00

For linux

mkdir("/some/directory", 0700);

For Windows

int main()
{
   system("mkdir C:\\Windows\\test");
}

I don't know what you mean by FILE IO but fopen doesn't create folder it just returns NULL if folder doesn't exists.

Using `system()` for simple filesystem operations is very bad idea. – myaut Jul 13 '15 at 09:02

@MdZobayer Rather than using `system()`, you should use the `_mkdir()` or `_wmkdir()` functions. For some reason this answer links to the documentation for them, but uses `system()` instead in its example code. – Dmitri Jul 14 '15 at 01:17
