NAME
       mkdir - make directories

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

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents the GNU version of mkdir.  mkdir  creates  a
       directory with each given name.	By default, the mode of created direc‐
       tories 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  success‐
	      fully.
