Linux: create a directory only if it doesn't exist?

  • 772

Is there a simple linux commands to conditionally create a directory?

A sort of mkdir that only creates a directory if doesn't exists i.e. doesn't complain if it exists already?

    mkdir -p /path/dir

    Will make the entire path and will not complain if it already exists.
