mkdir(1)

🌸 mkdir(1) — General Commands Manual 🌸

okay bestie, this is the manual page for mkdir, and yes it's from the General Commands Manual section, the classic section 1 energy. she's little, she's iconic, she makes folders. let's go 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

mkdir — Create the given DIRECTORY(ies) if they do not exist

like. that's it. that's her whole job. no cap. 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mkdir [-m|--mode] [-p|--parents] [-v|--verbose] [-Z ] [--context]
[-h|--help] [-V|--version] <dirs>

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Create the given DIRECTORY(ies) if they do not exist

fr fr that's the entire plot. you hand her some directory names, and if they're not already there, boom, they exist now. if they are already there… well, that's a whole conversation (see -p, she'll get you). 🦋

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -m, --mode — set file mode (not implemented on windows) 💅
• -p, --parents — make parent directories as needed 🌈
• -v, --verbose — print a message for each printed directory 👀
• -Z — set SELinux security context of each created directory to the default type 🔥
• --context <CTX> — like -Z, or if CTX is specified then set the SELinux or SMACK security context to CTX 🎀
• -h, --help — Print help 🫶
• -V, --version — Print version ⭐
• <dirs>

---

✨ EXTRA ✨

Each MODE is of the form [ugoa]*([-+=]([rwxXst]*|[ugo]))+|[-+=]?[0-7]+.

that's the mode grammar bestie, do not try to fight it, just copy it exactly and move on. it's giving regex, it's giving permission bits, it's giving "iykyk". 🧚

---

✨ VERSION ✨

v(uutils coreutils) 0.7.0

---

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 💖 this one's from mkdir (uutils coreutils) 0.7.0, so shoutout to the uutils coreutils girlies for this absolute banger of a directory-maker. go forth and mkdir responsibly. periodt. 💅✨🎀
