Create new folder(s), if they do not already exist.
Syntax mkdir [Options] folder... mkdir "Name with spaces" Options -m MODE, --mode=MODE Set permission mode (as in chmod), not rwxrwxrwx - umask. -p, --parents No error if existing, make parent directories as needed. -v, --verbose Print a message for each created directory.
mkdir creates the standard entries . (dot) for the current folder and .. (dot dot) for its parent.
The -v option is non-standard and its use in scripts is not recommended.
A folder name that includes spaces can appear in some applications as "Name%20with%20spaces" This is because 20 is the Ascii code for a space in Hex.
Create the folder 'demo':
$ mkdir -p demo
