dir name The name of the directory that is b eing created (required).
The dir name is assumed to b e an MPE name. HFS-named
directories may b e created if dir name starts with a dot (.) or
a slash (/). The dir name may not end in a slash. Wildcards
are not allo w ed. The dir name may not reference a le
equation.

Operation Notes
The NEWDIR command creates a directory named dir name . All paren t
directories m ust already exist. The dir name inherits the group ID (GID) from
its paren t directory and the user ID (UID) from the user creating the directory .
The sp ecial directory en tries dot (.) and dot-dot (..) are automatically created
under dir name .
By default NEWDIR creates an MPE-named directory . This means that
dir name m ust follo w all MPE naming rules, unless it is prexed with a dot
(.) or a slash (/). Since the MPE name syn tax denes three lev els, fully (or
partially) qualied MPE-named directories can only b e created under MPE
groups. Unqualied MPE-named directories are created relative to the CWD.
Directories do not supp ort lo c kw ords, le equations, or system dened le
names (for example, $NEWPASS ). If dir name b egins with a dot (.) or a slash
(/), then HFS naming rules are enforced.
