Trust in the man page Luke ... er Brent...  (and use

	#include <errno.h>
	extern int errno;

in your code.

Then you can do an

	if (mkdir_return == -1)
   	 {
	   if (errno == EPERM) { printf("Its a permission error!\n"); }
	   if (errno == EEXIST) { printf("Its already existed!\n"); }
	   if (errno == EACESS) { printf("Parent directory wont let me!\n"); }

...
          }

 From the man page ...

RETURN VALUE
        mkdir  returns  zero  on success, or -1 if an error occurred (in 
which
        case, errno is set appropriately).

ERRORS
        EPERM  The filesystem containing pathname does not  support  the 
  cre-
               ation of directories.

        EEXIST pathname already exists (not necessarily as a directory). 
  This
               includes the case where pathname is a symbolic  link, 
dangling
               or not.

        EFAULT pathname points outside your accessible address space.

        EACCES The  parent  directory  does  not allow write permission 
to the
               process, or one of the directories in pathname  did  not 
  allow
               search (execute) permission.

        ENAMETOOLONG
               pathname was too long.

       ENOENT A  directory  component in pathname does not exist or is a 
dan-
               gling symbolic link.

        ENOTDIR
               A component used as a directory in pathname is not, in 
fact,  a
               directory.

        ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory was available.

        EROFS  pathname refers to a file on a read-only filesystem.

        ELOOP  Too many symbolic links were encountered in resolving 
pathname.

        ENOSPC The device containing pathname has no room for the  new 
direc-
               tory.

        ENOSPC The  new  directory  cannot  be created because the 
user's disk
               quota is exhausted.
