Summary 0000843: mkdir -p exit status inaccurate
Description mkdir specifies that the exit values shall be zero when:

    All the specified directories were created successfully or the -p option was specified and all the specified directories now exist.

The part "all the specified directories now exist" suggests that the directories are guaranteed to exist at the time the command exits (i.e., the word "now" means "immediately after mkdir exits"), even though it may not be the case when another process executing concurrently with mkdir removes one or more of the the directories just after mkdir has verified their existence but before it has exited.
Desired Action Replace the sentence:

    All the specified directories were created successfully or the -p option was specified and all the specified directories now exist.

with:

    All the specified directories were created successfully or the -p option was specified and all the specified directories were either found to already exist or created successfully.
