mkdir

MKDIR(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  MKDIR(1)

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 rela-
	     tive 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

     mkdir exits 0 if successful, and >0 if an error occurred.

SEE ALSO

     chmod(1), rmdir(1), mkdir(2), umask(2)

STANDARDS

     The mkdir utility is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compatible.
