MKDIR(1L)

NAME
mkdir - make directories

SYNOPSIS
mkdir [-p] [-m mode] [--path] [--mode=mode] [--help] [--version] dir...

DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the GNU version of mkdir. mkdir creates a directory with each given name. By default, the mode of created directories is 0777 minus the bits set in the umask.

  OPTIONS

-m, --mode mode
    Set the mode of created directories to mode, which is symbolic as in chmod and uses the default mode as the point of departure.

-p, --path
    Ensure that each given path exists. Make any missing parent directories for each argument. Parent directories default to the umask modified by `u+wx'. Do not consider an argument directory that already exists to be an error.

--help
    Print a usage message and exit with a non-zero status.

--version
    Print version information on standard error then exit.
