NAME

     mkdir - make a directory


SYNOPSIS

     mkdir [-p] [-m mode] directory ...


OPTIONS

     -m   Create directory with mode

     -p   Create missing intermediate directories


EXAMPLES

     mkdir dir           # Create dir in the current directory

     mkdir -p /user/ast/dir
                         # Create the /user/ast and /user/ast/dir


DESCRIPTION

     The specified directory or directories are created and  ini-
     tialized. If any intermediate directory is missing and -p is
     specified, the missing component  will  be  created  and  no
     error  displayed if directory already exists. If the -m flag
     is used, this will be equivalent to a chmod on the directory
     after its creation.
