Hello,
I know this seems like a stupid question, but I am wondering how I can make a directory from a homebrew program. I am writing a program that installs homebrew from zip files, but I need to know how to create a directory to install most 3DSX files. I saw FSUSER_CreateDirectory() in the libctru docs, but that mentions archives which I'm not sure about.

Do it the easy way and use
Code:
 mkdir("/dir", 0777);
also include
Code:
#include <dirent.h> // for more io features or you could just include <sys/stat.h> or <sys/iosupport.h>
but if you want to do more IO stuff you should probably know how to properly
Code:
 FS_Archive sdArch;// you want to reuse this so keep it
Result Res = FSUSER_OpenArchive(&sdArch, ARCHIVE_SDMC, fsMakePath(PATH_EMPTY, ""));
FSUSER_CreateDirectory(sdArch, fsMakePath(PATH_ASCII, path), 0);
also just learn from other people as the code above was copied directly from
