Mkdir
From Free net encyclopedia
The mkdir command in the Unix operating system is used to make a new Directory. Normal usage is as straightforward as follows:
mkdir name_of_directory
Where name_of_directory is the name of the directory one wants to create. When typed as above (ie. normal usage), the new directory would be created within the current directory.
The command is similar to the DOS mkdir (often abbreviated to md) command.
