CREATE MISSING OUTPUT DIRECTORIES

Syntax:

[DO NOT] CREATE MISSING OUTPUT DIRECTORIES [DO NOT] CREATE MISSING DIRECTORIES ON OUTPUT [DO NOT] CONFIRM CREATE MISSING OUTPUT DIRECTORIES

Function:

When fpt outputs the reprocessed Fortran code, the directories to which the files are written must exist. The command CREATE MISSING OUTPUT DIRECTORIES instructs fpt to create any directories which are missing. Missing directories may be caused by file name editing commands, in particular when the input directory structure is preserved but moved to a different base directory (please see KEEPING THE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE).

There is a risk, when this command is used, that a small error may result in directory structures being written to unexpected places in the file structure. The command CONFIRM CREATE MISSING OUTPUT DIRECTORIES instructs fpt to request confirmation of the creation of each new directory.
