NAME

       mkdir - make a directory

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       Mkdir  creates  the  specified  directories.   It  requires write permission in the parent
       directory.

       If the -p flag is given, mkdir creates any  necessary  parent  directories  and  does  not
       complain if the target directory already exists.

       The  -m  flag sets the permissions to be used when creating the directory.  The default is
       0777.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Mkdir returns null exit status if all directories were successfully  made.   Otherwise  it
       prints a diagnostic and returns "error" status.
