       This manual page	documents  the	GNU  version  of  mmkkddiirr.
       mmkkddiirr  creates  a  directory  with  each	given	name.  By
       default, the mode of created directories is 0777 minus the
       bits set in the umask.

       _-_m_, _-_-_m_o_d_e _m_o_d_e
	      Set  the mode of created directories to _m_o_d_e, which
	      is symbolic as in chmod and uses the  default  mode
	      as the point of departure.

       _-_p_, _-_-_p_a_t_h
	      Ensure that each given path exists.  Make any miss-
	      ing parent directories for each  argument.   Parent
	      directories   default  to	the  umask  modified  by
	      `u+wx'.  Do not consider an argument directory that
	      already exists to be an error.

       _-_-_h_e_l_p Print a usage message and exit with a non-zero sta-
	      tus.

       _-_-_v_e_r_s_i_o_n
	      Print version information on  standard  error  then
	      exit.
