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”.
