NAME

dosmkdir − make a DOS directory

SYNOPSIS

dosmkdir device:dirname ... 

DESCRIPTION

Dosmkdir is the DOS counterpart of mkdir(1).

A DOS file name is recognized by the presence of an embedded colon (:) delimiter (see dos(4) for DOS file naming conventions). 

Dosmkdir creates specified directories.  The standard entries, .  for the directory itself and ..  for its parent, are made automatically. 

EXAMPLES

To create an empty subdirectory named sysmods under the directory /usr/lib on HP-UX device /dev/dos2, use:

dosmkdir /dev/dos2:/usr/lib/sysmods

SEE ALSO

dos(4), mkdir(1). 

DIAGNOSTICS

Dosmkdir returns 0 if all directories were successfully created.  Otherwise, it prints a diagnostic and returns non-zero.
