md x 2> nul
Your version checks for x. This one doesn't, but supresses the error message.

Correction: supresses *all* error messages.

Thank you. What is the function of '2'?

Actually, it is something borrowed into recent versions of DOS/Windows,
from Unix. 2 here is the file descriptor of the standard error output
(often referred to as "stderr"). So, this redirects file descriptor 2 to
the nul device.
Another useful application of this is something like:
someCommand > outfile.txt 2>&1
This syntax also is copied from Unix - it means to send the stderr output
to the same log file as the regular (stdout) output. Essentially, the two
output channels are merged into a single stream.

Actually, DOS and non NT Windows were never involved in this case. DOS never
did have a standard error handle. It only has standard output and input
handles, and none of them can be substituted with a number.
