NAME
mkcaldir -- Create the Caldb directory structure
.ih
USAGE
   mkcaldir
.ih
DESCRIPTION
This task creates "bcf" and "cpf" storage subdirectories beneath each
directory specified in the caldbconfig file. These subdirectories store "Basic
Calibration Files" and "Calibration Product Files", respectively. If the
directory specified in the caldbconfig file does not exist, it will be
created. Optionally, empty  Calibration Index Files also specified in the
caldbconfig file can be created by this task.

The path to the caldbconfig file is obtained from the CALDBCONFIG environment
variable or logical.  The user may also need to set the CALDB environment
variable or logical before executing this task. See the Caldb help page and
Caldb User's Guide for more information on how to set these system variables.
