Make Directory (Create folders)
Multiple folders will be created in the order specified, using mode rwx rwx rwx (0777) as modified by the current umask.
Syntax
mkdir [-pv] [-m mode] folder...
Options
-m mode
Set the file permission bits of the final created directory to
the specified mode. The mode can be in any of the formats
specified to the chmod command. If a symbolic mode is
specified, the operation characters `+' and `-' are interpreted
relative to an initial mode of `a=rwx'.
-p Create intermediate folders as required. If this option is
not specified, the full path prefix of each operand must already
exist. On the other hand, with this option specified, no error
will be reported if a directory given as an operand already
exists.
-v Verbose = list folders as they are created.
The -v option is non-standard and its use in scripts is not recommended.
The user must have write permission in the parent directory.
If an error occurs, mkdir exits with a value >0.
