NAME
mkdirs - make directories
SYNOPSIS

dir_paths
DESCRIPTION
Mkdirs
creates the directories specified in each
dir_path,
and optionally sets owner, group, and mode for the created
directories.
Mkdirs
requires write permission in the parent directory.
Unlike
mkdir,
mkdirs
creates all non-existent directories specified in each
dir_path.
For example, the following command creates both
new-dir-1 and new-dir-2:
mkdirs ~/new-dir-1/new-dir-2
The mode of the created directories is determined by the value of the
mode argument,
which may be absolute or symbolic (see
chmod(1)
for the correct syntax),
or by the current
umask(2) value
if no
mode
argument is specified.
Only modes of directories created by
mkdirs
are affected; modes of existing directories specified in the
dir_path
do not change.
