NAME
mkdir - make directories
SYNOPSIS
mkdir [-p] [-m mode] directory_name ...
DESCRIPTION
mkdir creates the directories named as operands, in the order specified,
using mode rwxrwxrwx (0777) as modified by the current umask(2).
The options are as follows:
-m Set the file permission bits of the final created directory to
the specified mode. The mode argument can be in any of the
formats specified to the chmod(1) utility. If a symbolic mode is
specified, the operation characters "+" and "-" are interpreted
relative to an initial mode of "a=rwx".
-p Create intermediate directories as required. If this option is
not specified, the full path prefix of each operand must already
exist. Intermediate directories are created with permission bits
of rwxrwxrwx (0777) as modified by the current umask, plus write
and search permission for the owner. Do not consider it an error
if the argument directory already exists.
The user must have write permission in the parent directory.
EXIT STATUS
The mkdir utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO
chmod(1), rmdir(1), mkdir(2), umask(2)
STANDARDS

compatible.
