        SYNTAX

        mkdir [ -p ] [ -m mode ] 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.

        Mkdir requires write permission in the parent directory.

        With the -p option, mkdir also creates any non-existing parent
        directories of the new directory.  The -m option lets you specify
        the new directories' mode.  For values of mode, see chmod(1).

        EXAMPLES

        $ pwd

        /usr/user1
        $ mkdir cprograms
        $ cd cprograms
        $ pwd

        /usr/user1/c_programs
        $

        In the above example, user1 has created a directory called
        "c_programs."
