=head1 NAME
B<shtool mkdir> - B<GNU shtool> mkdir(1) style command
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<shtool mkdir>
[B<-t>|B<--trace>]
[B<-f>|B<--force>]
[B<-p>|B<--parents>]
[B<-m>|B<--mode> I<mode>]
[B<-o>|B<--owner> I<owner>]
[B<-g>|B<--group> I<group>]
I<dir> [I<dir> ...]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is a mkdir(1) style command with additional options and the ability
to be smart if the directory already exists which is important for
installation procedures.
=head1 OPTIONS
The following command line options are available.
=over 4
=item B<-t>, B<--trace>
Shows the actually involved shell commands.
=item B<-f>, B<--force>
Forced continuation and no complaints if directory already exists.
Default is to terminate with error.
=item B<-p>, B<--parents>
Automatic parent directory creation. Default is to only create the last
directory in the path and fail if parents are missing.
=item B<-m>, B<--mode> I<mode>
The directory mode applied to the directory, see chmod(1). Omitting mode
skips this step and leaves the operating system default which is usually
based on umask(1). Some directory modes require superuser privileges to
be set. Default is to stick with operating system defaults.
=item B<-o>, B<--owner> I<owner>
The directory owner name or id applied to the directory, see chown(1).
This option requires superuser privileges to execute. Default is to skip
this step and leave the operating system default which is usually based
on the executing uid or the parent setuid directory.
=item B<-g>, B<--group> I<group>
The directory group name or id applied to the directory, see chgrp(1). This
option requires superuser privileges to execute to the fullest extend,
otherwise the choice of I<group> is limited on most operating systems.
Default is to skip this step and leave the operating system default
which is usually based on the executing gid or the parent setgid
directory.
=head1 EXAMPLE
# Makefile

shtool mkdir -f -p -m 755 $(bindir)
