Ulm's Oberon System:
onsmkdir


NAME

onsmkdir - make directories within the Oberon name system

SYNOPSIS

onsmkdir [-a authfile] [-c] [-p] {directory}

DESCRIPTION

onsmkdir attempts to create the given directories (using Names.MakeSubnode) in the Oberon name system (ONS).

Following options are supported:

-a authfile
specifies a file containing a persistent object of type Shards.Lid that is to be used for authorization to create the directory within the Oberon name space.
-c
requests onsmkdir to continue with the other directories if one of the directories cannot be created. The exit code will be non-zero, though.
-p
asks the entire paths including all parent directories to be created, if necessary. Note that under this option it is not considered a failure if a given directory already exists.

ENVIRONMENT

UnixNames is used to find the shared Oberon name space. This module considers the environment variable ONS_ROOT to find the Oberon name server.

SEE ALSO

onsshut(1)
shutdown a service that is associated with a control object
