mmd(1)mmd(1)NAMEmmd - mtools utility to make a DOS directory
SYNOPSISmmd [-v] msdosdirectory [msdosdirectories...]
OPTIONS
Displays the new directory name if the name supplied is invalid.
DESCRIPTION
The mmd command makes a new directory on a DOS file system. Unlike DOS
conventions, this command accepts multiple arguments. Reasonable care
is taken to create a valid DOS directory name. If an invalid name is
specified, the mmd command changes the directory name and displays the
new name if the -v option is specified. If the directory specified
exists, an error occurs.
DOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/' or '\' separa‐
tor. The use of the '\' separator or wildcards will require the direc‐
tory name to be enclosed in quotes to protect it from the shell.
The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current
working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:\.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: Success. Failure.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of mmd: If
set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the current
mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this
variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.
FILES
Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as estab‐
lished by the mcd command. If this file does not exist, the default
mtools working directory is A:\. Executable file
