<p>There are several situations where mkdir might fail:</p>
<ul>
<li>current user has insufficient rights in the parent directory</li>
<li>the path already exists</li>
<li>the path name is too long (longer than <code>PATH_MAX</code>, usually 4096 on linux, 1024 on OS X)</li>
</ul>

<h2>Search Tricks</h2>
<p>
Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g.
<code>fn:</code>) to restrict the search to a given type.
</p>
<p>
Accepted types are: <code>fn</code>, <code>mod</code>,
<code>struct</code>, <code>enum</code>,
<code>trait</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>macro</code>,
and <code>const</code>.
</p>
<p>
Search functions by type signature (e.g.
<code>vec -> usize</code> or <code>* -> vec</code>)
