Vim Function Documentation: mkdir() and mode()

min([apples, pears, oranges]) < {expr} can be a |List| or a |Dictionary|. For a Dictionary, it returns the minimum of all values in the Dictionary. If {expr} is neither a List nor a Dictionary, or one of the items in {expr} cannot be used as a Number this results in an error. An empty |List| or |Dictionary| results in zero. Parameters: ~ • {expr} (`any`) Return: ~ (`number`) mkdir({name} [, {flags} [, {prot}]]) *mkdir()* *E739* Create directory {name}. When {flags} is present it must be a string. An empty string has no effect. {flags} can contain these character flags: "p" intermediate directories will be created as necessary "D" {name} will be deleted at the end of the current function, but not recursively |:defer| "R" {name} will be deleted recursively at the end of the current function |:defer| Note that when {name} has more than one part and "p" is used some directories may already exist. Only the first one that is created and what it contains is scheduled to be deleted. E.g. when using: >vim call mkdir('subdir/tmp/autoload', 'pR') < and "subdir" already exists then "subdir/tmp" will be scheduled for deletion, like with: >vim defer delete('subdir/tmp', 'rf') < If {prot} is given it is used to set the protection bits of the new directory. The default is 0o755 (rwxr-xr-x: r/w for the user, readable for others). Use 0o700 to make it unreadable for others. This is used for the newly created directories. Note: umask is applied to {prot} (on Unix). Example: >vim call mkdir($HOME .. "/tmp/foo/bar", "p", 0o700) < This function is not available in the |sandbox|. If you try to create an existing directory with {flags} set to "p" mkdir() will silently exit. The function result is a Number, which is TRUE if the call was successful or FALSE if the directory creation failed or partly failed. Parameters: ~ • {name} (`string`) • {flags} (`string?`) • {prot} (`string?`) Return: ~ (`integer`) mode([{expr}]) *mode()* Return a string that indicates the current mode. If {expr} is supplied and it evaluates to a non-zero Number or a non-empty String (|non-zero-arg|), then the full mode is returned, otherwise only the first letter is returned.

This section details the `mkdir()` function in Vim, used to create directories, with options for creating intermediate directories, setting permissions, and using `:defer` for deletion. It outlines the parameters, flags, and return values, also mentioning sandbox restrictions. Finally, it describes the `mode()` function, which returns a string indicating the current editor mode, either as a single character or the full mode description based on an argument's presence.
