NAME

pmkdir - create a new Inversion file system directory  

SYNOPSIS

pmkdir path  

DESCRIPTION

Pmkdir creates new directories on the Inversion file system. The Inversion file system has a hierarchical namespace with the same rules as that of the Unix filesystem: components in a pathname are separated by slashes, and an initial slash refers to the root directory of the file system.  

ARGUMENTS

pathname
The name of the directory to create. Because Inversion has no notion of a current working directory, this must be a fully-qualified pathname rooted at ``/''.
 

EXAMPLES

The command

pmkdir /a/b/c/d

creates a new directory ``d'' as a child of ``/a/b/c'', which must exist.  

ENVIRONMENT

The environment variable DATABASE is checked to see which database should be used to find Inversion files.  

BUGS

DATABASE should be passed on the command line, not in the environment.
