NAME
       mkdir - make a directory

SYNOPSIS
       mkdir [-p] [-m mode] directory ...

OPTIONS
       -m     Create directory with mode

       -p     Create missing intermediate directories

EXAMPLES
       mkdir dir	   # Create dir in the current directory

       mkdir -p /user/ast/dir
			   # Create the /user/ast and /user/ast/dir

DESCRIPTION
       The specified directory or directories are created and initialized. If any intermediate directory is missing and -p is specified, the miss-
       ing component will be created and no error displayed if directory already exists. If the -m flag is used, this  will  be  equivalent  to  a
       chmod on the directory after its creation.
