     DESCRIPTION
          mkdir creates specified directories in mode 777 (possibly

          Standard entries, ., for the directory itself, and .., for
          its parent, are made automatically.  These and other direc-
          tories beginning with . are not visible in listings unless
          you use the -a flag option to ls.

          mkdir requires write permission in the parent directory.

     DIAGNOSTICS
