NAME

mkdir - make directories  

SYNOPSIS

mkdir [-p] [-m mode] [+path] [+mode mode] dir...  

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents the GNU version of mkdir. mkdir creates a directory with each given name. By default, the mode of created directories is 0777 minus the bits set in the umask.  

OPTIONS

-m, +mode mode
Set the mode of created directories to mode, which is symbolic as in chmod and uses the default mode as a point of departure.
-p, +path
Ensure that each given path exists. Make any missing parent directories for each argument. Parent directories default to the umask modified by `u+wx'. Do not consider an argument directory that already exists to be an error.
