💖 DAVIX-MKDIR — the directory-making bestie (section 1 of the manual, obvs)

okay so bestie, welcome to davix-mkdir, aka the girl from the DAVIX-MKDIR(1) manual who makes folders happen. she's a listing-tool-adjacent icon, she runs on vibes and libdavix, and she's about to make you a directory like it's nothing. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

davix-mkdir — Directory creation tool based on libdavix. that's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

davix-mkdir [options]... url

literally just hand her some options and a url and she'll go make that directory for you. no drama. 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so davix-mkdir is a tool to creat directories or collections with HTTP, Webdav or REST compatible services. yes bestie, "creat" — that's how the original spells it and we respect her quirks 💀

she speaks three protocols and she's fluent in all of them:

  • Http — http(s)://
  • WebDav — dav(s)://
  • S3 — s3(s)://

and the whole thing is powered by libdavix. if you wanna know the deep lore, go read libdavix(3) for details. iykyk 📚

👑 OPTIONS 👑

💫 Common Options:

  • --debug — Debug mode. she tells you everything she's thinking, no filter. 🙈
  • --header, -H — Add a header field to the request (eg: -H "Depth: 1" ). yes you can stack extra headers on top, she loves accessories. 🎀
  • --help, -h — Display this help message. when in doubt, ask the girl herself. 🫶
  • --metalink OPT — Metalink support. (OPT=failover[default]|no). so failover is the default unless you say no. ⭐
  • --module, -P PLUGIN_NAME — Load a plugin or profile by name. dress her up in a different outfit. 💅
  • --redirection OPT — Transparent redirection support. (OPT=yes[default]|no). she follows the redirects unless you tell her not to. 🌈
  • --proxy, -x URL — SOCKS5 proxy server URL. (ex: socks5://login:pass@socks.example.org). route her through a friend, no cap. 🧚
  • --trace — Traces specific scope(s), options include:
    • file — Davix file interface
    • posix — Davix POSIX interface
    • xml — XML parser output
    • ssl — SSL and certs details
    • header — HTTP queries headers

  • --key priv_path — Private key in PEM format. keep this one secret, ngl. 🤫

🧚 EXAMPLES 🧚

Creat a directory over WebDav — look at her go:

davix-mkdir dav://webdav.example.org/dir/directory_to_create

Creat a directory on a Grid Storage with VOMS authentication — she put on the grid profile and ate:

davix-mkdir -P grid davs://grid-storage.example.org/dir1/directory_to_create
notice the verb is "Creat" in both of these, straight from the source. we don't edit her, we celebrate her. 💖
