NAME
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.
