mmd(1)                              CLIX                              mmd(1)



  NAME

    mmd - Creates an MS-DOS sub directory

  SYNOPSIS

    mmd [-v] msdosdirectory

  FLAGS

    -v   Runs the command in verbose mode.  This flag displays the new
         directory name if the name supplied is invalid.

  DESCRIPTION

    The mmd command creates a new directory on an MS-DOS formatted disk.  Sub
    directories are supported with either the slash (/) or '\' separator.  The
    use of the '\' separator will require the directory name to be enclosed in
    quotes to protect it from the shell.

  NOTES

    If an invalid directory name is specified, mmd will change the name.  If
    the verbose mode is set, mmd will display the new directory name.

    An error occurs if the directory already exists.

    The environmental variable MCWD may be used to establish a current working
    directory (relative to the MS-DOS disk).

    The environmental variable FLOPPY may be used to establish a default
    floppy drive other than the device currently linked to /dev/rdsk/fl.
    Valid choices include /dev/rdsk/floppy to designate a 5.25-inch drive, or
    /dev/rdsk/ufloppy to designate a 3.5-inch drive.
