mkdir(1)                                                 mkdir(1)



     NAME
          mkdir - make a directory

     SYNOPSIS
          mkdir dirname ...

     DESCRIPTION
          mkdir creates specified directories in mode 777 (possibly
          altered by umask(1)).  Standard entries, ., for the
          directory itself, and .., for its parent, are made
          automatically.  These and other directories beginning with .
          are not visible in listings unless you use the -a flag
          option to ls.

          mkdir requires write permission in the parent directory.

     EXAMPLE
               mkdir letters

          creates a directory letters as a subdirectory of the current
          directory at the time you employ the command.

     FILES
          /bin/mkdir

     SEE ALSO
          rm(1), sh(1), umask(1).

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