++# I rewrote Paul Eggert's script in POSIX shell because it was a little
++# odd, and did not confine itself to puritantical pre-POSIX conventions.
++# For example, in one place it used:
++# case ${1--} in
++# -*)
++# to test for $1 being null, presumably due to fears that test -n and -z
++# will not be available. Yet later in the script, test -n was used.
++#
++# This seemed quite silly. I decided to rewrite it since I am arrgoant
++# enough to think I know what I'm doing in POSIX shell.
++#
++# If someone needs a pre-POSIX version of mkdirhier, they'll probably need to
++# turn to someone else, as I have no idea where such a thing is specified.

++.TH mkdirhier __mansuffix__ __xorgversion__
+ .SH NAME
+-mkdirhier \- makes a directory hierarchy
++mkdirhier \- create a directory hierarchy
+ .SH SYNOPSIS
+ .B mkdirhier
+-directory ...
++.I directory
++\&...
+ .SH DESCRIPTION
+-The
+-.I mkdirhier
+-command creates the specified directories. Unlike
+-.I mkdir
+-if any of the parent directories of the specified directory
+-do not exist, it creates them as well.
++.B mkdirhier
++creates the specified directories.
++Unlike some versions of
++.BR mkdir ,
++if any of the parent directories of the specified directory do not exist,
++.B mkdierhier
++creates them as well.
++.PP
++Systems with
++.BR mkdir (__osmansuffix__)
++implementations conformant with the Single Unix Specification may simply
++use
++.B mkdir \-p
++instead \(em this includes all systems using the GNU Core Utilities'
++version of
++.BR mkdir .
++.SH DIAGNOSTICS
++If
++.B mkdirhier
++is not supplied with any arguments, a usage message is printed.
++.PP
++.B mkdirhier
++prefixes its diagnostic messages with the name under which it was invoked,
++followed by a colon (\(oq:\(cq) so that its messages can be distingushed
++from others.
++.TP
++.B could not create directory \(dq\fIdirectory\fP\(dq
++indicates that there was a failure while creating
++.IR directory .
++This message will likely be preceded by a diagnostic message from
++.BR mkdir .
++.SH "EXIT STATUS"
++.TP
++.B 64
++.B mkdirhier
++was not given any directory names to create.
++.PP
++.B mkdirhier
++otherwise exits with the exit status of the last
++.B mkdir
++command that failed.
++.SH BUGS
++.B mkdirhier
++is susceptible to race conditions; for example, if it is directed to create
++a hierarchy
++.I a/b/c/d
++and any of
++.IR a/ ,
++.IR b/ ,
++or
++.I c/
++do not yet exist, they can be removed and replaced by a symbolic link to
++another location in the window of time after
++.B mkdirhier
++creates a directory and the directory immediately below it.
++This means that directories may be created in unexpected locations.
++To avoid this problem, use
++.B mkdir \-p
++instead, or do not use
++.B mkdirhier
++to create directories in parts of the filesystem where untrusted users can
++manipulate them.
+ .SH "SEE ALSO"
