By using this option it's possible to set the permissions for the new directory using a numeric code. The number is characterized by 3 digits.
The first digit represents the permissions of the owner, the second one the permissions of the group and the last one the permission of Others.
7= read, write, execute permissions.
6= read and write.
5= Read and execute.
4= read.
0= no permission
Assume that you want to create a folder dir_1 and give all the permissions only to the owner.
Example:
-zsh
> mkdir -vm 700 dir_1
dir_1
-p
By using this option it's possible to create directory inside the specified path.
Assume that you want to create a folder dir_1 in the path /user/home/Document/dir but dir doesn't exist, this command will create dir and then dir_1 inside of it.
Example:
-zsh
> mkdir -vp /home/user/Document/dir
dir
dir/dir_1
