mkdir – Create Directories
The mkdir command is used to create directories. It works like this:
mkdir directory...
mkdir directory...
A note on notation: When three periods follow an argument in the description of a com- mand (as above), it means that the argument can be repeated, thus:
mkdir dir1
mkdir dir1
would create a single directory named “dir1”, while
mkdir dir1 dir2 dir3
mkdir dir1 dir2 dir3
would create three directories named “dir1”, “dir2”, and “dir3”.
