NAME

       dpns-mkdir - make DPNS directory in the name server

SYNOPSIS

       dpns-mkdir [-m mode] [-p] path...

DESCRIPTION

       dpns-mkdir creates the specified DPNS directories in the name server.

       This  requires  write permission in the parent directory.  The owner ID
       and group ID of the new directories are set  to  the  requestor’s  real
       user ID and group ID, respectively.

       path   specifies  the DPNS pathname.  If path does not start with /, it
              is  prefixed  by  the  content  of  the  DPNS_HOME   environment
              variable.

       The dpns-mkdir command has the following options:

       -m     specifies the mode to be used.  Default mode is 777.

       -p     creates all the non-existing parent directories first.  The mode
              set for the created  intermediate  directories  is  the  logical
              difference between 0777 and the user umask but at least 0300.

EXIT STATUS

       This  program  returns  0  if the operation was successful or >0 if the
       operation failed.
