I agree with adding the clarification to the man page,
thanks for doing that.

Subject: [PATCH] doc:
I like to present a challenge to my software engineer friends: can you
tell me what this command does on Linux, if run in an empty directory?
mkdir -m 0755 -p ./usr/bin/foo
If they read the mkdir man page (
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/mkdir.1.html), they almost always say
the answer
