CeCreateDirectory (RAPI)
This function creates a new directory on a remote Microsoft® Windows® CE–based device.
BOOL CeCreateDirectory(
LPCWSTR lpPathName,
LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttributes
);
Parameters
lpPathName
[in] Long pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the path of the directory to be created.There is a default string size limit for paths of (MAX_PATH - 1) characters. An application can exceed this limit and use paths longer than (MAX_PATH - 1) characters by prepending \\?\ to the path. The \\?\ instructs CeCreateDirectory to disable path parsing, which then allows the use of paths longer than (MAX_PATH - 1). However, each component in the path cannot be more than (MAX_PATH - 1) characters long. This also works with Universal Naming Convention (UNC) names. The \\?\ is ignored as part of the path. For example, \\?\C:\myworld\private is seen as C:\myworld\private.
Note The NULL terminating character is considered part of the count - hence, the character length limit is one less than MAX_PATH.
- lpSecurityAttributes
Ignored; set to NULL.
Return Values
Nonzero indicates success. Zero indicates failure. To get extended error information, call CeGetLastError and CeRapiGetError.
