MKDIR(1)        DOMAIN/IX Reference Manual (SYS5)        MKDIR(1)



NAME
     mkdir - make a directory

USAGE
     mkdir dirname ...

DESCRIPTION
     Mkdir creates specified directories in mode 777 (all access
     permissions granted).  It automatically makes standard
     entries of ``.'' for the directory itself, and ``..'' for
     its parent.

CAUTIONS
     Mkdir requires write permission in the parent directory.

     Umask(1) may alter specified directories normally created
     with mode 777, causing them to become mode 755.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Mkdir returns exit code 0 if all directories were success-
     fully made; otherwise, it prints a diagnostic and returns
     non-zero.

RELATED INFORMATION
     sh (1), rm (1), umask (1).
