The OP should also consider reading manual pages before asking for help. Both of these questions are fundamental and both are answered in their respective manuals.
Depending on others to provide answers is an excellent way to learn as little as possible. You will never achieve competency if you limit your exposure to correct answers provided by others. Much more is learned via research, experimentation, blunders, and dead ends.
And if after a few dead ends the answer is not found, there are experts here happy to help.

shtool-mkdir
SHTOOL-MKDIR.TMP(1) GNU Portable Shell Tool SHTOOL-MKDIR.TMP(1)
NAME
shtool-mkdir - GNU shtool mkdir(1) style command
SYNOPSIS
shtool mkdir [-t|--trace] [-f|--force] [-p|--parents] [-m|--mode mode] [-o|--owner owner] [-g|--group group] dir [dir ...]
DESCRIPTION
This is a mkdir(1) style command with additional options and the ability to be smart if the directory already exists which is important for
installation procedures.
OPTIONS
The following command line options are available.
-t, --trace
Shows the actually involved shell commands.
-f, --force
Forced continuation and no complaints if directory already exists. Default is to terminate with error.
-p, --parents
Automatic parent directory creation. Default is to only create the last directory in the path and fail if parents are missing.
-m, --mode mode
The directory mode applied to the directory, see chmod(1). Omitting mode skips this step and leaves the operating system default which
is usually based on umask(1). Some directory modes require superuser privileges to be set. Default is to stick with operating system
defaults.
-o, --owner owner
The directory owner name or id applied to the directory, see chown(1). This option requires superuser privileges to execute. Default
is to skip this step and leave the operating system default which is usually based on the executing uid or the parent setuid directory.
-g, --group group
The directory group name or id applied to the directory, see chgrp(1). This option requires superuser privileges to execute to the
fullest extend, otherwise the choice of group is limited on most operating systems. Default is to skip this step and leave the
operating system default which is usually based on the executing gid or the parent setgid directory.
EXAMPLE
# Makefile
install:
shtool mkdir -f -p -m 755 $(bindir)
shtool mkdir -f -p -m 755 $(mandir)/man1
