Directory creation and destruction (mkdir and rmdir)

New directories are created with the mkdir (make directory) command and removed with the rmdir (remove directory) command. The syntax is


    mkdir directory
and


    rmdir directory
The pwd (print working directory) command displays the absolute pathname of your working directory.
