I am trying to create a small assembly program to create a folder. I looked up the system call for creating a directory on this page: http://www.ctyme.com/intr/rb-8144.htm

It says that it is identified by 27h. How would I go about implementing the "mkdir somename" in assembly? I am aware that the program should move 27 into eax but I am unsure where to go next. I have googled quite a bit and no one seems to have posted anthing about this online. This is my current code (I don't know in which register to put filename and so on)

section .data

section .text
global _start

mov eax, 27
mov ????????
....
int 80h

Thanks
