User Commands mkdir(1)
NAME
mkdir - make directories
SYNOPSIS
mkdir [-m mode] [-p] dir...
DESCRIPTION
The mkdir command creates the named directories in mode 777
(possibly altered by the file mode creation mask umask(1)).
Standard entries in a directory (for instance, the files
".", for the directory itself, and "..", for its parent) are
made automatically. mkdir cannot create these entries by
name. Creation of a directory requires write permission in
the parent directory.
The owner-ID and group-ID of the new directories are set to
the process's effective user-ID and group-ID, respectively.
mkdir calls the mkdir(2) system call.
setgid and mkdir
To change the setgid bit on a newly created directory, you
must use chmod g+s or chmod g-s after executing mkdir.
The setgid bit setting is inherited from the parent direc-
tory.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-m mode This option allows users to specify the mode
to be used for new directories. Choices for
modes can be found in chmod(1).
-p With this option, mkdir creates dir by
creating all the non-existing parent direc-
tories first. The mode given to intermediate
directories will be the difference between
777 and the bits set in the file mode crea-
tion mask. The difference, however, must be
at least 300 (write and execute permission
for the user).
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
