- dirpath String
-
The path of the directory to be created.
In the ANSI version of this function (CreateDirectoryA(String, IntPtr)),
there is a default string size limit for paths of 248 characters.
To extend this limit to 32,767 wide characters,
call the Unicode version of the function (CreateDirectoryW(String, IntPtr))
and prepend "\\?\" to the path, for example: CreateDirectoryW("\\?\C:\Very Long Path")
- securityAttributes IntPtr
-
A pointer to a SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES structure.
The SecurityDescriptor member of the structure
specifies a security descriptor for the new directory.
If SecurityAttributes is Zero,
the directory gets a default security descriptor.
The ACLs in the default security descriptor for a directory
are inherited from its parent directory.
