Why do you need to use the kernel to let your program create a directory? Elaborate on this program of yours please.

This is an assignment from my lecturer.
I am not asking somebody to solve it for myself.
But if someone can give me a hint on how to do that I would be thankful

Take a look at sys_mkdir syscall:

/usr/src/your_linux_source/fs/namei.c

It's not a complex system call.
