NAME

mkdir- create directories

SYNOPSIS

mkdir [-p] [-m<mode>] dir...

OPTIONS

The options are:

-p

Create intermediate directories as required.

-m mode

Set the file permission bits of the created directory to the mode specified.

DESCRIPTION

mkdir is a target utility.

The mkdir utility creates the directories named as operands, in the order specified using a default mode of rwxrwxrwx. Umask is not supported on ChorusOS and the file permission bit of the current process is therefore not recorded by a Process Manager.

The -m option sets the file permission bits of the created directory to the mode specified. The mode argument can be in any of the formats specified to the chmod(1UNIX) command.

In this version, symbolic links are not supported.

If the -p option is not specified, the full path prefix of each operand must already exist. Intermediate directories are created with permission bits of rwxrwxrwx (0777). The current umask is not recorded.

The user must have write permission in the parent directory.

DIAGNOSTICS

If successful, 0 is returned, otherwise > 0 if an error occurred.
