This documentation is no longer being maintained and may be inaccurate
or incomplete. The Texinfo documentation is now the authoritative
source. This manual page documents the GNU version of mkdir.
- mkdir

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 the point of
departure.
- -p,
- -parents Ensure that each given directory exists. Create 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.

successfully.
