# FUSE mkdir

> Tag 23: the server relays an ask of the container’s proxy that makes a directory of a mount the client serves live, by the mount’s id and the entry’s path; the client answers with exactly one channel response, which the server relays to the proxy.

Canonical: https://provider.diverge.network/2.3.0/endpoints/containers-agents-run/server/fuse-mkdir/
Specification revision: 2.3.0

The server opens this channel when the container's proxy sends the
FUSE ask on `/requests` that makes a directory of a mount the client serves live. The ask
is relayed verbatim; the client's one answer is relayed back.

- **The request.** The tag byte `23` followed by the ask in the form
  the proxy's [`/fuse/mkdir/{channel}`](/2.3.0/proxy/fuse/mkdir/) page
  defines. [Request](/2.3.0/endpoints/containers-agents-run/server/fuse-mkdir/request/) states its
  form.
- **The response.** Exactly one channel response and the channel
  response finish. [Response](/2.3.0/endpoints/containers-agents-run/server/fuse-mkdir/response/)
  states the sequence.
- **The conduit.** The server relays the one channel response to the
  proxy's `/fuse/mkdir/{channel}` as one message and closes that
  connection. The server does not read the ask or the answer, and
  does not send the ask twice.
- **Never for a read-only mount.** The server does not open this channel for a mount whose `readonly` is `true`; the proxy sends no such ask.
- **A directory mount only.** The proxy sends this ask only for a mount of `fuse_directory_mounts`.
