Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

|
|
.Nm

|
.Op Fl m Ar mode
|
|
.Ar directory_name ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility creates the directories named as operands, in the order specified,
|
|
using mode
|
|
.Dq Li rwxrwxrwx
|
|
(0777)
|
|
as modified by the current
|
|
.Xr umask 2 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl m Ar mode"
|
|
.It Fl m Ar mode
|
|
Set the file permission bits of the final created directory to
|
|
the specified mode.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar mode
|
|
argument can be in any of the formats specified to the
|
|
.Xr chmod 1
|
|
command.
|
|
If a symbolic mode is specified, the operation characters
|
|
.Ql +
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql -
|
|
are interpreted relative to an initial mode of
|
|
.Dq Li a=rwx .
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Create intermediate directories 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.
|
|
Intermediate directories are created with permission bits of
|
|
.Dq Li rwxrwxrwx
|
|
(0777)
|
|
as modified by the current umask, plus write and search
|
|
permission for the owner.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Be verbose when creating directories, listing them as they are created.
|
|
