       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.
