# Struct std::fs::DirBuilder [−] [src]

    pub struct DirBuilder {
        // some fields omitted
    }

A builder used to create directories in various manners.

This builder also supports platform-specific options.

## Methods

### `impl DirBuilder`

#### `fn new() -> DirBuilder`

Creates a new set of options with default mode/security settings for all platforms and also non-recursive.

#### `fn recursive(&mut self, recursive: bool) -> &mut Self`

Indicate that directories create should be created recursively, creating all parent directories if they do not exist with the same security and permissions settings.

This option defaults to `false`

#### `fn create<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, path: P) -> Result<()>`

Create the specified directory with the options configured in this builder.

# Examples

fn main() { use std::fs::{self, DirBuilder}; let path = "/tmp/foo/bar/baz"; DirBuilder::new() .recursive(true) .create(path).unwrap(); assert!(fs::metadata(path).unwrap().is_dir()); }

    use std::fs::{self, DirBuilder};

    let path = "/tmp/foo/bar/baz";
    DirBuilder::new()
        .recursive(true)
        .create(path).unwrap();

    assert!(fs::metadata(path).unwrap().is_dir());

## Trait Implementations

### `impl DirBuilderExt for DirBuilder`

#### `fn mode(&mut self, mode: mode_t) -> &mut DirBuilder`

### `impl DirBuilderExt for DirBuilder`

#### `fn mode(&mut self, mode: mode_t) -> &mut DirBuilder`

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize`)
