- 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"
-
- See Also:
- chmod(6); rmdir(6); umask(6)
