# mkdir(1)

    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  initialized.  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.

    SEE ALSO
         chmod(1), rmdir(1), mkdir(2).
