MKDIR(1) MKDIR(1)
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.

DIAGNOSTICS
If any directory cannot be created successfully, mkdir
prints a warning, and continues with any remaining directo-
ries, but returns "error" exit status at the end.
