12* Attempt to create a directory *
13*************************************************/
14
15/* All the directories that Exim ever creates for itself are within the spool
16directory as defined by spool_directory. We are prepared to create as many as
17necessary from that directory downwards, inclusive. However, directory creation
18can also be required in appendfile and sieve filters. The making function
19therefore has a parent argument, below which the new directories are to go. It
20can be NULL if the name is absolute.
21
22If a non-root uid has been specified for exim, and we are currently running as
23root, ensure the directory is owned by the non-root id if the parent is the
24spool directory.
25
26Arguments:
27 parent parent directory name; if NULL the name must be absolute
28 name directory name within the parent that we want
29 mode mode for the new directory
30 panic if TRUE, panic on failure
31
32Returns: panic on failure if panic is set; otherwise return FALSE;
33 TRUE on success.
