MU MKDIR(1)		    General Commands Manual		   MU MKDIR(1)

NAME
       mu-mkdir	- create a new Maildir

SYNOPSIS
       mu [COMMON-OPTIONS] mkdir [OPTIONS] DIR...

DESCRIPTION
       mu  mkdir  is  the  command  for	creating Maildirs as per maildir(5). A
       maildir is a a directory	with subdirectories new, cur and tmp.

       The command does	not use	the mu database.

       If creation fails for any reason, no attempt  is	 made  to  remove  any
       parts that were created.	This is	for safety reasons.

MKDIR OPTIONS
   --mode mode
       Set the file access mode	for the	new maildir(s) as in chmod(1). The de-
       fault is	0755.

COMMON OPTIONS
   -d, --debug
       Makes  mu  generate  extra  debug information, useful for debugging the
       program itself. Debug information goes to the  standard	logging	 loca-
       tion; see mu(1).

   -q, --quiet
       Causes mu not to	output informational messages and progress information
       to standard output, but only to the log file. Error messages will still
       be  sent	 to  standard  error.  Note  that mu index is much faster with
       --quiet,	so it is recommended you use this option when  using  mu  from
       scripts etc.

   --log-stderr
       Causes  mu to not output	log messages to	standard error,	in addition to
       sending them to the standard logging location.

   --nocolor
       Do not use ANSI colors. The environment variable	NO_COLOR can  be  used
       as an alternative to --nocolor.

   -V, --version
       Prints mu version and copyright information.

   -h, --help
       Lists the various command line options.

EXAMPLE
	      $	mu mkdir tom dick harry

       creates three maildirs, tom, dick and harry.
