Maybe not documented, but it's not too hard to discover empirically.

OK. I looked in the online documentation and read from the book "Java
Development With Ant", but neither documented this behavior of <mkdir>.
Thanks for your help,

I need to check to see if a directory exists, and if not, then
create
the directory. But, if the directory already exists, then leave it
alone, because it may already contain some important files. I have
more
than a dozen directories to check for, and I would like to find a way
to
do this that's less verbose than a bunch of <property> and
<available>
tasks. Does anyone know how?
Here's the equivalent command from a batch file:
if not exist c:\myapp mkdir c:\myapp
Well, since <mkdir> is a no-op for an existing directory, you don't
even need to use <available>. And to process several dirs, either
manually write all the <mkdir>s, or select the dirs in a <fileset> or
<path>, and loop over it using Ant-Contrib's <for> task. --DD
