So whenever some lua extension asks for the cache directory it is made sure that it already exists. The problem regarding parent directory not existing, I went through dirs.c for different operating systems and they all return paths with cache directory being child directory of some directory created by the system by default. So, there is a high chance vlc_mkdir() will not fail here. Still if you feel that it can fail, i can write a recursive implementation to check the path and create directories as required.<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Mar 10, 2019 at 12:28 AM Remi Denis-Courmont <<a href="mailto:remi@remlab.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">remi@remlab.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Le 2019-03-09 16:01, Aakash Singh a écrit :<br>

First, it's questionable if the function should create the directory, or <br>
if that's the caller's responsibility. But in any case, this patch won't <br>
work if the parent directory does not exist.<br>
