NAME

fmkdir - create directories in the FSP database

SYNOPSIS

fmkdir name ...

DESCRIPTION

For each name appearing in the argument list, fmkdir creates a directory in the client's current working directory in the FSP database. The new directories are owned by the client machine, and permission for other machines to create or delete items in these directories are initially turned off. The client may alter the permission states with the fprocmd command.

ENVIRONMENT

The following variables associate this program with a FSP database:

FSP_HOST: The name or internet number of the machine with the FSP server.
FSP_PORT: The port number of the UDP socket used by the FSP server.
FSP_LOCALPORT: The port number of the UDP socket used by FSP client utilities. You may pick any number not currently used for other purposes. The main reason of defining this number is to ensure mutual exclusion between client utilities accessing the same FSP database.
FSP_DIR: The current working directory of the client in the FSP database. The root of the database is /.
