💖 MMKDIR(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is mmkdir from the General Commands Manual — it's the maildir girlie whose whole job is making new maildir folders. she's tiny, she's iconic, she's about to be your new fave. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mmkdir — create new maildir folders 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mmkdir dir ...

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so like, mmkdir creates new maildir folders. that's the whole vibe. she just... makes them. 💅

parent directories? created as needed, no cap. she'll build the whole path for you like the main character she is. 🫶

and the way that trying to create a maildir that already exists is not an error?? yeah. she's chill like that. no drama, no exit code shenanigans, she just moves on. 😌

new maildir folders get made with mode 0700 — that means readable and writable by the owner only. your mail, your business, nobody else's. 🔒✨

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

the mmkdir utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

like, 0 = we ate. >0 = something went sideways, bestie. 😭

⚠️ CAVEATS ⚠️

real talk: mmkdir does not support maildir++. you gotta transform nested maildir++ folder names yourself. she's not doing that for you, sorry bestie. 🙈
