mmd(1)
NAME
  mmd - mtools utility to make a DOS directory

SYNOPSIS
  mmd [-v] msdosdirectory [msdosdirectories...]

OPTIONS
  -v  Displays the new directory name if the name supplied is invalid.

DESCRIPTION
  The mmd command makes a new directory on a DOS file system. Unlike DOS
  conventions, this command accepts multiple arguments. Reasonable care is
  taken to create a valid DOS directory name.  If an invalid name is
  specified, the mmd command changes the directory name and displays the new
  name if the -v option is specified. If the directory specified exists, an
  error occurs.

  DOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/' or '\' separator.
  The use of the '\' separator or wildcards will require the directory name
  to be enclosed in quotes to protect it from the shell.

  The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working
  directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:\.

EXIT STATUS
  The following exit values are returned:

  0   Success.

  1   Failure.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
  The following environment variables affect the execution of mmd:

  MCWD
      If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the
      current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command.  If
      this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.

FILES
  $HOME/.mcwd
      Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as
      established by the mcd command.  If this file does not exist, the
      default mtools working directory is A:\.

  /usr/bin/mtools/mmd
      Executable file
