Manual page for MKDIR(1L)
mkdir - make directories
SYNOPSIS
mkdir
[-p] [-m mode] [--parents] [--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, --parents
-
Ensure that each given directory exists. Create 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 on standard output and exit successfully.
- --version
-
Print version information on standard output then exit successfully.
