where name_of_directory is the name of the directory one wants to create. When typed as above (i.e. normal usage), the new directory would be created within the current directory. On Unix and Windows (with Command extensions enabled, [15] the default [16]), multiple directories can be specified, and mkdir will try to create all of them.
It is sometimes called the current working directory (CWD), e.g. the BSD getcwd [1] function, or just current directory. [2] When a process refers to a file using a simple file name or relative path (as opposed to a file designated by a full path from a root directory ), the reference is interpreted relative to the working directory of the process.
The setuid permission set on a directory is ignored on most UNIX and Linux systems. [5] [citation needed] However FreeBSD can be configured to interpret setuid in a manner similar to setgid, in which case it forces all files and sub-directories created in a directory to be owned by that directory's owner - a simple form of inheritance. [6]
Both can be components of a complex relative path (e.g., "../mark/./bobapples "), where "." alone or as the first component of such a relative path represents the working directory. (Using "./foo" to refer to a file "foo" in the current working directory can sometimes usefully distinguish it from a resource "foo" to be found in a default ...
The pushd ('push directory') command saves the current working directory to the stack then changes the working directory to the new path input by the user. If pushd is not provided with a path argument, it changes instead to the next directory from the top of the stack, [clarification needed] which can be used to toggle between two directories.

The hierarchical file system was used instead of simply expanding the flat directory for performance reasons. "A flat DOS file structure with a single directory and 10 times as many files would logically require 10 times as long to search." [2] OS/2 and Windows also support a hierarchical file system, using the same path syntax as DOS.
