     M\bMk\bkd\bdi\bir\br creates the directories named as operands, in the order specified,
     using mode 0777 modified by the current umask(2).

     The options are as follows:

     -\b-p\bp      Create intermediate directories as required.  If this option is
             not specified, the full path prefix of each operand must already
             exist.
