mkdir(1)                                                              mkdir(1)



NAME
     mkdir - make directories

SYNOPSIS
     mkdir [-m mode] [-p] dirname . . .

DESCRIPTION
     mkdir creates the specified directories in mode 777 [possibly altered by
     umask(1)].

     Standard entries in a directory, ., for the directory itself, and .., for
     its parent are made automatically.  mkdir cannot create these entries by
     name.  Creation of a directory requires write permission in the parent
     directory.

     The owner ID and group ID of the new directories are set to the process's
     real user ID and group ID, respectively.

     The mkdir command has the following options:

     -m         specifies the mode to be used for new directories.  Choices
                for mode can be found in chmod(1).

     -p         creates all the non-existing parent directories first.

EXAMPLE
     To create the subdirectory structure ltr/jd/jan, type:

          mkdir -p ltr/jd/jan
