.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Mkdir
creates a new directory
whose name is the null-terminated string
pointed to by
.IR name .
The mode of the directory
is set to
.IR mode ,
as modified by the process's mode mask (see
.IR stat (2)
and
.IR umask (2)).
The directory initially contains two entries:
.B .
(a link to the directory itself) and
.B ..
(a link to the parent directory).
.PP
If the
.I mode
includes
.BR S_IBLIND ,
the directory is `blind'.
A blind directory cannot be read, and
its security label is not checked when the
directory is searched.
.PP
.I Rmdir
removes the directory
.IR name ,
which must only have the entries
.L \&.
and
