mkdir(1)
mkdir --
make directories
Synopsis
/u95/bin/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 mode-
Use mode for the new directories.
Choices for mode can be found in
chmod(1).
-p-
Create all the non-existing parent directories first.
Examples
Create the subdirectory structure ltr/jd/jan:
mkdir -p ltr/jd/jan
Exit codes
mkdir
returns exit code 0 if all directories given in the
command line were made successfully.
Otherwise, it prints a diagnostic and returns non-zero.
Files
/usr/lib/locale/locale/LC_MESSAGES/uxcore.abi-
language-specific message file (see LANG on
environ(5)).

Notices
Symbolic modes should be used with the -m option, in preference
to octal modes, since octal modes may not be supported in future releases.
This command has been updated to handle files greater than 2GB.
