Make directory (xbmkdir.exe) - XBOX Game Development Documentation

Use this tool to create a directory and any necessary parent directories on a remote console.

Column 1
xbmkdir directory [/X[:]address[+<accesskey>][/title]]

Option	Description
directory	The directory to be created. A fully qualified path that has the drive letter must be supplied. For details, see the Remarks section later in this topic.
/X[:]address[+<accesskey>][/title]	- Use this option to specify the host name or address (shown as Tools IP on the console) of a targeted console without changing the default console. For details about setting a host name for a console, see Setting a host name for the console IP address. - If you don’t use this option, the default console (previously set by Connect (xbconnect.exe)) is used. - Use the accesskey string to give console access only to those people who have the access key. - Set the access key by using the command xbconfig accesskey=your-key, and then restart your console to make the access key effective. - To access a console that’s configured with an access key, include a plus sign (+) and the access key after the IP address or host name of the console. - If an access key is provided when the default console is set by xbconnect, the access key is stored as part of the default console’s address. - For more information about access keys, see xbconfig accesskey.
/LC	Specify the locale code. Used to override the default locale code

Remarks

Destination files and directories in the shared scratch-drive partition

The drive-D partition is now accessible as a shared scratch space in the system and from within the Game OS. To create a directory in this shared drive, use xbmkdir (with or without /x/title address) to access drive partitions and files that are being used by the exclusive resource app. For example, to create the foo directory in the game-data subdirectory of a game on the console, use the following:

xbmkdir /X:/title XD:\foo

xbmkdir XD:\foo

If a legacy XBOX One Software Development Kit title is running, drive D is the legacy TitleScratch drive, which isn’t the same as drive D in the system. However, drive D is accessible in the system via the TitleScratch network share when the title isn’t running.

Destination files and directories in an app container

While an exclusive app is running, the app container is read-only and mapped to drive G in the exclusive partition. Apps packaged at build time are read-only. Files and directories can be copied for these apps but can’t be added, deleted, or modified.
