* **Ilmkdir**

  *Interactive mkdir*

  Mkdir with author data

  On the first run, it saved personal information in ``~/.config/ilftools/author``  through a guided procedure

  When a directory is created through this tool, data is saved in ``{DIR}/.ilft`` 
  
  ```
  usage: Imkdir [-h] [--version] [--mode mode] [--parents] [--verbose] [-Z]
                [--context context] [--emulate] [--anonymous]
                dir [dir ...]

  optional arguments:
    -h, --help            show this help message and exit
    --version             show program's version number and exit
    --mode mode, -m mode  set file mode (as in chmod), not a=rwx - umask
    --parents, -p         no error if existing, make parent directories as needed
    --verbose, -v         print a message for each created directory
    -Z                    set SELinux security context of each created directory to the
                          default type
    --context context     like -Z, or if CTX is specified then set the SELinux or SMACK
                          security context to CTX
    --emulate, -e         Emulate mkdir directly, no additional features
