`mkdir': Make directories
=========================
`mkdir' creates directories with the specified names. Synopsis:
mkdir [OPTION]... NAME...
If a NAME is an existing file but not a directory, `mkdir' prints a
warning message on stderr and will exit with a status of 1 after
processing any remaining NAMEs. The same is done when a NAME is an
existing directory and the -p option is not given. If a NAME is an
existing directory and the -p option is given, `mkdir' will ignore it.
That is, `mkdir' will not print a warning, raise an error, or change
the mode of the directory (even if the -m option is given), and will
move on to processing any remaining NAMEs.
The program accepts the following options. Also see Note:Common
options.
`-m MODE'
`--mode=MODE'
Set the mode of created directories to MODE, which is symbolic as
in `chmod' and uses `a=rwx' (read, write and execute allowed for
everyone) minus the bits set in the umask for the point of the
departure. Note:File permissions.
`-p'
`--parents'
Make any missing parent directories for each argument. The mode
for parent directories is set to the umask modified by `u+wx'.
Ignore arguments corresponding to existing directories.
`-v'
`--verbose'
Print a message for each created directory. This is most useful
with `--parents'.
