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