     NAME
          mkdir - make a directory

     SYNOPSIS
          mkdir dirname ...

     DESCRIPTION
          Mkdir creates specified directories in mode 777, subject to
          masking by umask(2). Standard entries, `.', for the direc-
          tory itself, and `..'  for its parent, are made automati-
          cally.

          Mkdir requires write permission in the parent directory.

     SEE ALSO
          rm(1)

     DIAGNOSTICS
          Mkdir returns exit code 0 if all directories were success-
          fully made.  Otherwise it prints a diagnostic and returns
          nonzero.
