\&\fIdir\fR [\fIdir\fR ...]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This is a \fBmkdir\fR\|(1) style command with additional options and the ability
to be smart if the directory already exists which is important for
installation procedures.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
The following command line options are available.
.IP "\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-trace\fR" 4
.IX Item "-t, --trace"
Shows the actually involved shell commands.
.IP "\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-force\fR" 4
.IX Item "-f, --force"
Forced continuation and no complaints if directory already exists.
Default is to terminate with error.
.IP "\fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-parents\fR" 4
.IX Item "-p, --parents"
Automatic parent directory creation. Default is to only create the last
directory in the path and fail if parents are missing.
.IP "\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-mode\fR \fImode\fR" 4
.IX Item "-m, --mode mode"
The directory mode applied to the directory, see \fBchmod\fR\|(1). Omitting mode
skips this step and leaves the operating system default which is usually
based on \fBumask\fR\|(1). Some directory modes require superuser privileges to
be set. Default is to stick with operating system defaults.
.IP "\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-owner\fR \fIowner\fR" 4
.IX Item "-o, --owner owner"
The directory owner name or id applied to the directory, see \fBchown\fR\|(1).
This option requires superuser privileges to execute. Default is to skip
this step and leave the operating system default which is usually based
on the executing uid or the parent setuid directory.
.IP "\fB\-g\fR, \fB\-\-group\fR \fIgroup\fR" 4
.IX Item "-g, --group group"
The directory group name or id applied to the directory, see \fBchgrp\fR\|(1). This
option requires superuser privileges to execute to the fullest extend,
otherwise the choice of \fIgroup\fR is limited on most operating systems.
Default is to skip this step and leave the operating system default
which is usually based on the executing gid or the parent setgid
directory.

.IX Header "HISTORY"
The \fB\s-1GNU\s0 shtool\fR \fBmkdir\fR command was originally written for Public
Domain by Noah Friedman and later revised by Ralf S. Engelschall
<rse@engelschall.com> in 1999 for inclusion into \fB\s-1GNU\s0 shtool\fR.
