Linux Comm Mkdir
# Linux mkdir Command
[ Linux Command Manual](#)
The Linux mkdir (full English name: make directory) command is used to create directories.
### Syntax
mkdir dirName
**Parameter Description**:
* -p Ensures that the directory name exists; if it does not exist, it creates one.
### Examples
Create a subdirectory named tutorial in the current working directory:
mkdir tutorial
Create a subdirectory named test within the tutorial2 directory in the current working directory.
If the tutorial2 directory does not originally exist, it will be created. (Note: In this example, if the -p parameter is not used and the tutorial2 directory does not originally exist, an error will occur.)
mkdir -p tutorial2/test
