mkdir dirname...
The new directories are created with permissions starting with 8r777 but masked with the permissions of the parent directory according to the formula given in open. This has the effect of limiting the permissions of the newly created directories to those of the parent directory. For example, if the parent directory lacks write permission for group and no permissions for 'other', then so will the newly created directory.
