NAME

bifmkdir − make a BIF directory

SYNOPSIS

bifmkdir device:dirname ... 

DESCRIPTION

bifmkdir is intended to mimic mkdir(1).

A BIF file name is recognized by the embedded colon (:) delimiter (see bif(4) for BIF file naming conventions). 

bifmkdir creates specified directories in mode 777.  The standard entries, .  for the directory itself and ..  for its parent, are made automatically. 

RETURNS

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

EXAMPLES

Create an empty subdirectory named sysmods under the directory /usr/lib on HP-UX device /dev/dsk/2s0:

bifmkdir /dev/dsk/2s0:/usr/lib/sysmods
