IMHO, that's beyond the scope of the Wireshark Lua API, which should only
provide APIs specific to Wireshark functionality that cannot be [easily]
accomplished with third party libraries (which are plentiful). In this
case, portable filesystem calls can be achieved with Penlight [1].
Regarding the specific directory-creation example you cited, use pl.dir [2].
