Creates a new directory.

Syntax

MKDIR <directory>

<directory>

The directory you want to create.

Description

Use MKDIR to create a new directory. The MD command is identical to MKDIR.

The new directory name must follow the standard naming conventions for the operating system.

If you try to make a directory that already exists or is on a path that does not exist, an error occurs.

After you create the new directory, you can use CD or SET DIRECTORY to make the new directory the current directory.
