mkdir also has the -m argument, so you could do mkdir -m 1755 dir interestingly -m does not apply to parent directories created with -p If you wanted to deal with the -p, I would remove it and not pass it to mkdir, but create them yourself in the function. I'd use parameter expansion to deal with parts of the path 1 by 1. - Ian Kelling
