NAME
     mkdir - make a directory

SYNOPSIS
     mkdir [ -p ] dirname...

DESCRIPTION
     mkdir creates directories.  Standard entries, `.',  for  the
     directory itself, and `..' for its parent, are made automat-
     ically.

     The -p flag allows missing parent directories to be  created
     as needed.

     With the exception of the set-gid bit, the current umask(2V)
     setting   determines  the  mode  in  which  directories  are
     created.  The new directory inherits the set-gid bit of  the
     parent  directory.   Modes may be modified after creation by
     using chmod(1V).

     mkdir requires write permission in the parent directory.
