mkdir

Description

Only one directory will be made, so the components of the path p other than the last must already exist.

i1 : p = temporaryFileName() | "/"

o1 = /tmp/M2-29749-0/0/
 
i2 : mkdir p
 
i3 : isDirectory p

o3 = true
 
i4 : (fn = p | "foo") << "hi there" << close

o4 = /tmp/M2-29749-0/0/foo

o4 : File
 
i5 : get fn

o5 = hi there
 
i6 : removeFile fn
 
i7 : removeDirectory p

A filename starting with ~/ will have the tilde replaced by the home directory.
