FileIF.makeDirectory

Creates a directory. Note that this will only create a child directory of the immediate parent directory of the path or URI given by the #GFile. To recursively create directories, see g_file_make_directory_with_parents(). This function will fail if the parent directory does not exist, setting @error to %G_IO_ERROR_NOT_FOUND. If the file system doesn't support creating directories, this function will fail, setting @error to %G_IO_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED.

For a local #GFile the newly created directory will have the default (current) ownership and permissions of the current process.

If @cancellable is not %NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error %G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned.
