mmd

mmd(1)							      General Commands Manual							    mmd(1)

NAME

       mmd - mtools utility to make a DOS directory

SYNOPSIS

       mmd [-v] msdosdirectory [msdosdirectories...]

OPTIONS

       Displays the new directory name if the name supplied is invalid.

DESCRIPTION

       The  mmd  command  makes  a new directory on a DOS file system. Unlike DOS conventions, this command accepts multiple arguments. Reasonable
       care is taken to create a valid DOS directory name.  If an invalid name is specified, the mmd command changes the directory name  and  dis-
       plays the new name if the -v option is specified. If the directory specified exists, an error occurs.

       DOS  subdirectory  names  are  supported  with either the '/' or '' separator.	The use of the '' separator or wildcards will require the
       directory name to be enclosed in quotes to protect it from the shell.

       The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned: Success.  Failure.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables affect the execution of mmd: If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the current
       mtools working directory as established by the mcd command.  If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.

FILES

       Contains  the  name  of	the  current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command.  If this file does not exist, the default
       mtools working directory is A:.  Executable file

SEE ALSO

       Commands: mcd(1), mrd(1), mtools(1)
