The Linux mkdir command is used to create a directory of the specified name, requiring the user who created the directory to have write permission in the current directory, and the specified directory name cannot be a directory already in the current directory.
1. Command format:
mkdir [Options] directory ...
2. Command function:
The mkdir command enables you to create a folder or directory named DirName (the specified file name) at the specified location. The user who is creating a folder or directory must have write permissions to the parent folder of the folder that you are creating. Also, the folder (directory) You create cannot have the same name as the file name in its parent directory (that is, the parent folder), that is, the same directory cannot have the same names (case-sensitive).
3. Command parameters:
-M,--mode= mode, set permissions < mode > (similar to chmod) rather than rwxrwxrwx minus umask
-P,--parents can be a path name. At this point if some directories in the path do not already exist, plus this option, the system will automatically establish those directories that do not exist, that is, can build multiple directories;
-V,--verbose displays information each time a new directory is created
--HELP displays this help information and exits
--version output version information and exit
