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 directory.

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 directories first. The mode given to intermediate directories will be the difference between 777 and the bits set in the file mode creation mask. The difference, however, must be at least 300 (write and execute permission for the user).

OPERANDS

    The following operand is supported:

    dir

    A path name of a directory to be created.

USAGE

    See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of mkdir when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 231 bytes).

EXAMPLES


    Example 1 Using mkdir

    The following example:


    example% mkdir -p ltr/jd/jan
    creates the subdirectory structure ltr/jd/jan.
