NAME

dosmkdir - make a DOS directory

SYNOPSIS

dosmkdir [-mu] device:directory ...

DESCRIPTION

The

dosmkdir command is targeted for removal from HP-UX; see the WARNINGS below.

dosmkdir is the DOS counterpart of the mkdir

command (see mkdir(1)). It creates speciﬁed directories.

The standard entries,

. for the directory itself and

.. for its parent, are made automatically.

There is one option:

-m In this case you may have a directory name same as

DOS volume label.

-u Disable argument case conversion. In the absence of this option, all

DOS ﬁle names are con-

verted to uppercase.

DOS ﬁle name is recognized by the presence of an embedded colon (

:) delimiter; see dosif(4) for DOS ﬁle

naming conventions.

DIAGNOSTICS

dosmkdir returns 0 if all directories were successfully created. Otherwise, it prints a message to stan-

dard error and returns non-zero.

WARNINGS

Use of dosmkdir is discouraged because it is targeted for removal from HP-UX.

EXAMPLES

Create an empty subdirectory named numbers under the directory /math/lib on the device accessed

through HP-UX special ﬁle /dev/rfd9122 :

dosmkdir /dev/rfd9122:/math/lib/numbers
