- ----------------------- MKDIR - Internal DOS Command ------------------------
-
- MKDIR creates a subdirectory.
-
- FORMAT: MKDIR [d:]path or MD [d:]path
-
- REMARKS:
-
- d: - the drive of the disk where the subdirectory is to be created. If
- omitted, the default drive is assumed.
- path - the directory path of the new subdirectory. If path designation does
- not begin at the root level then the subdirectory is created in the
- current directory. The last directory in the path is the name of the
- subdirectory to be created.
-
- You may have as many subdirectories as you wish, subject to:
- 1. The limitation of available disk space.
- 2. The maximum length of the path (including the "\" characters) from the
- root directory to any subdirectory is 63 characters.
-
- When a subdirectory is created, DOS puts two files "." and ".." in its
- directory. These files cannot be erased. The "." file identifies the
- subdirectory to DOS. The ".." file identifies the "parent" directory (the
- directory that this subdirectory lies within).
-
- EXAMPLES:
-
- Create a subdirectory named BUDGET in the root directory of the default drive:
-
- MKDIR \BUDGET
-
-
- Create a subdirectory named DATA in the directory BUDGET of the default drive.
- BUDGET is a subdirectory of the root directory:
-
- MKDIR \BUDGET\DATA
-
- Note: If the current directory is set to BUDGET, you may specify:
-
- MKDIR DATA
-
-
- Create a subdirectory named TEST in the root directory of drive B. The default
- drive is A:
-
- MKDIR B:\TEST
