NAME
- mkdir - make a directory
SYNOPSIS
- mkdir [ -p ] [ dirname ... ]
DESCRIPTION
-
Mkdir
creates the specified directories. It requires write permission in the parent directory.
The -p option causes mkdir to create the whole path dirname, including any missing parent directories; it also will not complain if dirname already exists and is a directory.
The new directories are created with permissions starting with 8r777 but masked with the permissions of the parent directory according to the procedure followed by sys-open(2). For example, if the parent directory lacks write permission for group and has no permissions for others, so will the newly created directory.
SOURCE
- /appl/cmd/mkdir.b
SEE ALSO
- chmod(1), cd(1), rm(1), sys-open(2)
DIAGNOSTICS
- If any directory cannot be created successfully, mkdir prints a warning, and continues with any remaining directories, but returns error exit status at the end.
