Mkdir

Creates a directory or subdirectory.

Syntax

mkdir [Drive**:**]Path

md [Drive**:**]Path

Parameters

Drive :   : Specifies the drive on which you want to create the new directory.

Path   : Required. Specifies the name and location of the new directory. The maximum length of any single path is determined by the file system.

/?   : Displays help at the command prompt.

Remarks

  • When you enable command extensions (that is, the default), you can use a single mkdir command to create intermediate directories in a specified path. For more information about enabling and disabling command extensions, see cmd in Related Topics.

Examples

To create a directory named Taxes with a subdirectory named Property, which contains a subdirectory named Current, type:

mkdir \Taxes\Property\Current

This is the same as typing the following sequence of commands with command extensions disabled:

mkdir \Taxes
chdir \Taxes
mkdir Property
chdir Property
mkdir Current
