MKDIR(C)                 XENIX System V                  MKDIR(C)



     Name
          mkdir - Makes a directory.

     Syntax
          mkdir dirname ...

     Description
          mkdir creates directories.  The standard entries ``dot''
          (.), for the directory itself, and ``dot dot'' (..), for its
          parent, are made automatically.

          mkdir requires write permission in the parent directory.
          The permissions assigned to the new directory are modified
          by the current file creation mask set by umask(C).

     See Also
          rmdir(C), umask(C)

     Diagnostics
          mkdir returns exit code 0 if all directories were
          successfully made; otherwise, it prints a diagnostic and
          returns nonzero.
