NAME
       mkdir - make a directory

SYNOPSIS
       mkdir [ -p ] [ -m mode ] dirname ...

DESCRIPTION
       Mkdir  creates the specified directories.  It requires write permission
       in the parent directory.

       If the -p flag is given, mkdir creates any necessary parent directories
       and does not complain if the target directory already exists.

       The  -m  flag  sets the permissions to be used when creating the direc‐
       tory.  The default is 0777.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Mkdir returns null exit status if  all  directories  were  successfully
       made.  Otherwise it prints a diagnostic and returns "error" status.
