The mkdir
(make directory) command in the Unix, DOS, DR FlexOS,[1] IBM OS/2,[2] Microsoft Windows, and ReactOS[3] operating systems is used to make a new directory. It is also available in the EFI shell[4] and in the PHP scripting language. In DOS, OS/2, Windows and ReactOS, the command is often abbreviated to md
.
The command is analogous to the Stratus OpenVOS create_dir
command.[5] MetaComCo TRIPOS and AmigaDOS provide a similar MakeDir
command to create new directories.[6][7] The numerical computing environments MATLAB and GNU Octave include an mkdir
function with similar functionality.[8][9]
