NAME

       dpns-mkdir - make DPNS directory in the name server

SYNOPSIS

       dpns-mkdir [-m mode] [-p] path...

DESCRIPTION

       dpns-mkdir creates the specified DPNS directories in the name server.

       This  requires write permission in the parent directory.  The owner ID and group ID of the
       new directories are set to the requestor's real user ID and group ID, respectively.

       path   specifies the DPNS pathname.  If path does not start with /, it is prefixed by  the
              content of the DPNS_HOME environment variable.

       The dpns-mkdir command has the following options:

       -m     specifies the mode to be used.  Default mode is 777.

       -p     creates  all  the  non-existing  parent  directories  first.   The mode set for the
              created intermediate directories is the logical difference  between  0777  and  the
              user umask but at least 0300.

EXIT STATUS

       This program returns 0 if the operation was successful or >0 if the operation failed.
