Parameters

Exceptions

FileAlreadyExistsException - if there is already a file located by this path (optional specific exception, some implementations may throw more general IOException).

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

UnsupportedOperationException - if the attributesarray contains an attribute that cannot be set atomically when creating the directory.
