Hello,
I am trying to write a program in C++ and I need to check to see if a 
directory exists, if not create it, move a file and verify that all works 
well.  How do I go about this in Linux?

This is a slightly better description:

I am reading a running a program and passing a filename of a binary file as a 
command line argument.  In this file I extract information that will be 
stored in a database, and then the file will be moved to a certain directory 
for usage by another application.  

Where I put the file depends on information I get from the DB.  The base 
directory will be the same but subdirectories will be different.  Therefore, 
I must check to see if the directory and file exists, if not I create the 
directory and then move the file from the location specified by the command 
line arguments to the new location.  

Any help will be appreciated.  Again, please make it simple.  I am still a bit 
ignorant in the C++ world (especially in Linux).

Using SuSE 9.1 Pro, gcc-3.3.3-41

Thanks,
DC
