What it does and how:

1. It creates directory structure for your new website in the /var/www as base folder. It uses command: mkdir -p -v /var/www/$1/{htdocs,logs}. So you having www root of your site in the /var/www/sitename.tld/htdocs/ and error log file in the /var/www/sitename.ext/logs/.
2. It makes stub index.html file in the www root of this new web site.
3. Change ownership of that: chown -R www-data:www-data
4. New site config is placed to /etc/nginx/sites-available/sitename.ext file. Your can review this config by command:nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/sitename.ext.
