SYNOPSIS
dosmkdir
[-mu]

DESCRIPTION
The
dosmkdir
command is targeted for removal from HP-UX;
see the
WARNINGS
below.
dosmkdir
is the
DOS
counterpart of the
mkdir
command (see
mkdir(1)).
It creates specified directories.
The standard entries,
.
for the directory itself and
..
for its parent, are made automatically.
- There is one option:
- -m
In this case you may have a directory name same as
DOS
volume label.
- -u
Disable argument case conversion.
In the absence of this option, all
DOS
file names are converted to uppercase.
A
DOS
file name is recognized by the presence of an embedded colon
(:)
delimiter; see
dosif(4)
for
DOS
file naming conventions.
DIAGNOSTICS
dosmkdir
returns 0 if all directories were successfully created.
Otherwise, it prints a message to standard error and returns non-zero.
WARNINGS

dosmkdir
is discouraged because
it is targeted for removal from HP-UX.
