Currently, the node permissions include only user read and write. The **group** and **others** permissions do not take effect. 67>In addition, only the user read and write permissions can be modified. The read and write permissions are **rw** and **ro** only. Therefore, when the **-m** option is specified in the **mkdir** command, only **777** and **555** permissions are available for the created directory, and the execute permission does not take effect. 68 69## Example<a name="section1113345211713"></a> 70 71Run the following commands: 72 73- mkdir testpath 74- mkdir -m 777 testpath 75- mkdir -pv testpath01/testpath02/testpath03 76 77## Output<a name="section10142201012"></a> 78 79``` 80OHOS:/tmp$ mkdir testpath 81OHOS:/tmp$ ll 82total 2 83drwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 2048 1979-12-31 00:00 testpath/ 84``` 85 86Example 2: creating a directory with specified permissions 87 88``` 89OHOS:/tmp$ mkdir -m 777 testpath 90OHOS:/tmp$ ll 91total 2 92drwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 2048 1979-12-31 00:00 testpath/ 93``` 94 95Example 3: creating directories recursively 96 97``` 98OHOS:/tmp$ mkdir -pv testpath01/testpath02/testpath03 99mkdir: created directory 'testpath01' 100mkdir: created directory 'testpath01/testpath02' 101mkdir: created directory 'testpath01/testpath02/testpath03' 102OHOS:/tmp$ ll 103total 2 104drwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 2048 1979-12-31 00:00 testpath01/ 105OHOS:/tmp$ ll testpath01/ 106total 2 107drwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 2048 1979-12-31 00:00 testpath02/ 108OHOS:/tmp$ ll testpath01/testpath02/ 109total 2 110drwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 2048 1979-12-31 00:00 testpath03/ 111``` 112 113
