Discussion
The md and mkdir functions are simple wrappers around the more sophisticated NewItem cmdlet. As you might guess, the NewItem cmdlet creates an item at the location you provide. The NewItem cmdlet doesn’t work only against the filesystem, however. Any providers that support the concept of items automatically support this cmdlet as well.
For more information about the NewItem cmdlet, type GetHelp NewItem.
