Question

How to create a directory and give permission in single command in Linux?

I have to create lots of folder with full permission 777.

Answer 1

You could write a simple shell script, for example:

#!/bin/bash
mkdir "$1"
chmod 777 "$1"

Once saved, and the executable flag enabled, you could run it instead of mkdir and chmod:

./scriptname path/foldername

However, alex's answer is much better because it spawns one process instead of three. I didn't know about the -m option.
