The file.makedir method creates a new directory on disk.
Arguments
| Parameter Name | Default Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| path | "" | file name, partial path, or absolute path to directory to be created |
If given a file name or partial path, it will be interpreted relative to the current working directory (see file.curdir).
Result

Example
The following attempts to create a directory called "data" in the current directory.
file.makedir "data"
