mkdir(1) mkdir(1)
DIAGNOSTICS
mkdir returns exit code 0 if all directories were created successfully. Otherwise, it prints a diagnostic and
returns non-zero.
mkdir returns exit code 0 if the -p
option was specified, and all the specified directories now exist. If any
of the intermediate directories do not have search or write permission (with the
-p option), mkdir prints
a diagnostic and returns non-zero.
EXAMPLES
Create directory
gem beneath existing directory raw
in the current directory:
mkdir raw/gem
Create directory path raw/gem/diamond
underneath the current directory and set permissions on
directory
diamond to read-only for all users (
a=r):
mkdir -p -m "a=r" raw/gem/diamond
which is equivalent to (see chmod(1)):
mkdir -p -m 444 raw/gem/diamond
If directories raw or raw and gem already exist, only the missing directories in the specified path are
created.
