Bifmkdir is intended to mimic mkdir(1).
A BIF file name is recognized by the embedded colon (:) delimiter (see bif(5) for BIF file naming conventions).
Bifmkdir creates specified directories in mode 777. Standard entries, ., for the directory itself, and .., for its parent, are made automatically.
EXAMPLES
Create an empty subdirectory named sysmods under the directory /usr/lib on HP-UX device /dev/bif2:
bifmkdir /dev/bif2:/usr/lib/sysmods
