     NAME
          mkdir - make directories

     SYNOPSIS
          mkdir [-p] [-m mode] [--parents] [--mode=mode] [--help]
          [--version] dir...

     DESCRIPTION
          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
          creates a directory with each given name.  By default, the
          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.

          --help
               Print a usage message on standard output and exit
               successfully.

          --version
               Print version information on standard output then exit
               successfully.
