Generaly, we create directory using “mkdir” command and then change it’s permissions using “chmod” command.
Create directory & set permission using a single Linux command
Actually, we can set the permissions for the directory at the time of it’s creation itself, with the following command:
$ mkdir zyz -v -m 644 mkdir: created directory `zyz'
where,
-m flag defines the permission to be set
-v stands for verbose mode
$ ls -l | grep zyz drw-r--r-- 2 root root 4096 2009-12-30 14:26 zyz
