Synopsis:
$mkdir(<directory> [<directory> ...])
Technical:
This function adds the following directories to the filesystem, using
the mkdir(3) library call. The default permissions are 0777, minus
the current umask value. Any number of directories may be created at
once. Tilde-expansion is permitted.
Practical:
This function creates one or more new directories. It is probably most
useful for script installers. Make sure you set your umask correctly,
otherwise you may inadvertently create the directory with permissions
that allow anyone to write to it.
Returns:
> 0 number of directories that could not be created
0 success
Examples:
$mkdir(~/myscript) probably returns "0"
$mkdir(~/myscript /etc/hackerz) probably returns "1"
