.TH PMKDIR UNIX 01/23/93
.XA 1 "Pmkdir"
.SH NAME
pmkdir \- create a new Inversion file system directory
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pmkdir
[\c
.B -D
database]
[\c
.B -H
host]
[\c
.B -P
port]
.I path
{
.I path ...
}
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Pmkdir
creates new directories on the Inversion file system.
The Inversion file system has a hierarchical namespace with
the same rules as that of the Unix filesystem:
components in a pathname are separated by slashes,
and an initial slash refers to the root directory of the file system.
.SH ARGUMENTS
.TP 10
.I pathname
The name of the directory to create.
.\" Because Inversion has no notion of a current working directory,
.\" this must be a fully-qualified pathname rooted at ``/''.
.TP
.BR "-D" " database"
Specifies the database to use.  Defaults to the value of the
environment variable 
.SM DATABASE
(see below).
.TP
.BR "-H" " host"
Specifies the hostname of the machine on which the 
.IR postmaster
is running.  Defaults to the name of the local host, or the value of
the
.SM PGHOST
environment variable (if set).
.TP
.BR "-P" " port"
Specifies the Internet TCP port on which the
.IR postmaster
is listening for connections.  Defaults to 4321, or the value of the
.SM PGPORT
environment variable (if set).
.SH EXAMPLES
The command
.(C
pmkdir /a/b/c/d
.)C
creates a new directory \*(lqd\*(rq as a child of \*(lq/a/b/c\*(rq.
\*(lq/a/b/c\*(rq must already exist.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
If no database is given on the command line, the environment variable
.SM DATABASE
is checked.  If no environment variable
.SM DATABASE
is present, the command exits with an error status.
.PP 
The environment variable
.SM PFCWD
is used for the current directory if the pathname specified is
relative.
.SH BUGS
See
.IR "introduction" "(large objects)"
for filename and path limitations imposed by the Inversion file system.
