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
resRoot:createDir( "thirdDirectory/fourthDirectory/documents/" ); -- successfully creates three directories at a time
resRoot:createDir( "../hax/" ); -- fails to create "hax" directory, because the path is not relative to the translator anymore
