SYNOPSIS

mkdir [options] directory...

POSIX options: [-p] [-m mode] [--]

GNU options (shortest form): [-p] [-m mode] [--verbose] [--help] [--version] [--]

DESCRIPTION

mkdir creates directories with the specified names.

By default, the mode of created directories is 0777 (‘a+rwx’) minus the bits set in the umask.

OPTIONS

-m mode, --mode=mode
  Set the mode of created directories to mode, which may be symbolic as in chmod(1) and then uses the default mode as the point of departure.
-p, --parents
  Make any missing parent directories for each directory argument. The mode for parent directories is set to the umask modified by ‘u+wx’. Ignore arguments corresponding to existing directories. (Thus, if a directory /a exists, then ‘mkdir /a’ is an error, but ‘mkdir -p /a’ is not.)
--verbose
  Print a message for each created directory. This is most useful with --parents.
-- Terminate option list.

GNU STANDARD OPTIONS

--help Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.
--version
  Print version information on standard output, then exit successfully.
-- Terminate option list.

ENVIRONMENT

The variables LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE and LC_MESSAGES have the usual meaning.
