NAME

bifmkdir − make a bif directory

SYNOPSIS

bifmkdir device:dirname ... 

HP-UX COMPATIBILITY

Level: HP-UX/NUCLEUS

Origin: HP

DESCRIPTION

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

SEE ALSO

bif(5), mkdir(1). 

DIAGNOSTICS

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