IECreateDirectory function

Creates a new directory by calling the standard CreateDirectory function from a higher-integrity user context.

Syntax

BOOL IECreateDirectory(
  _In_ LPCWSTR               lpPathName,
  _In_ LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttributes
);

Parameters

• lpPathName [in]
  The path of the directory to be created.

• lpSecurityAttributes [in]
  A pointer to a SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES structure. If this parameter is NULL, the directory gets a default security descriptor. The ACLs in the default security descriptor for a directory are inherited from its parent directory.

Return value

Returns TRUE if it succeeds, and FALSE otherwise.

Remarks

If the underlying file system supports security on files and directories, the function applies a specified security descriptor to the new directory.
