NAME

rfmkdir - make remote directories

SYNOPSIS

rfmkdir [ -m mode ] [ -p ] directory...

DESCRIPTION

rfmkdir provides an interface to the shift remote file I/O daemon (rfiod) for creating remote directories in mode 777 (possibly altered by umask(1)). The directory argument is either a remote directory name of the form:

hostname:path

or a local directory name (not containing the :/ character combination). Creation of a directory requires write permission in the parent directory.

OPTIONS

The following options apply to rfmkdir:

-m mode

This option allows users to specify the mode to be used for the new directories. Choices for modes can be found in chmod(1).

-p

With this option, rfmkdir creates dirname by creating all the non-existing parent directories first.

mkdir(1), umask(1), mkdir(2), rfiod(1)
