+# $EPIC: mkdir.txt,v 1.3 2007/03/02 02:32:04 jnelson Exp $
+======Synopsis:======
+$__mkdir__(<directory> [<directory> ...])
+======Technical:======
+The <directory> argument(s) are [[what is a word|dword]] which is different
+from most function arguments.
+This function adds the following directories to the filesystem, using
+the mkdir(3) library call.  The default permissions are 0777, minus
+the current umask value.  Any number of directories may be created at
+once.  Tilde-expansion is permitted.
+======Practical:======
+This function creates one or more new directories.  It is probably most
+useful for script installers.  Make sure you set your umask correctly,
+otherwise you may inadvertently create the directory with permissions
+that allow anyone to write to it.
+======Returns:======
+<file>
+> 0   number of directories that could not be created
+   success
+</file>
+======Examples:======
+<file>
+$mkdir(~/myscript)                probably returns "0"
+$mkdir(~/myscript /etc/hackerz)   probably returns "1"
+</file>
