     If the -p flag is given, mkdir creates any necessary parent directories and
     does not complain if the target directory already exists.

     The -m flag sets the permissions to be used when  creating  the  directory.
     The default is 0777.

     cd in rc((1))

     Otherwise it prints a diagnostic and returns "error" status.
