.SH NAME
rfmkdir \- make remote directories
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B rfmkdir
[
.BI -m
.IR mode
]
[
.IB -p
]
.IR directory...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX "\fLrfmkdir\fR"
.B rfmkdir
provides an interface to the
.B shift
remote file I/O daemon (rfiod) for creating remote directories in mode 777
(possibly altered by
.BR umask(1) ).
The
.IR directory
argument is either a remote directory name of the form:
.IP
.IB hostname : path
.LP
or a local directory name (not containing the :/ character combination). Creation of a directory
requires write permission in the parent directory.
.SH "OPTIONS"
The following options apply to
.B rfmkdir:
.TP
.BI \-m " mode"
This option allows users to specify the mode to be used for the new directories.
Choices for modes can be found in
.BI chmod(1) .
.TP
.BI \-p
With this option,
.B rfmkdir
creates
.B dirname
by creating all the non-existing parent directories first.
