Client

This snippet creates a folder hierarchy.

-- Create a generic resource root translator
local resRoot = fileCreateTranslator( "/" );

-- Create some folders.
resRoot:createDir( "theDirectory/" ); -- successfully creates "theDirectory" folder
resRoot:createDir( "secondDirectory" ); -- fails to create "secondDirectory" as intended, because it is not a valid dirPath
