Create directories

Question

Is there an easy way to create all subdirectories of a path in linux ?

Something like

 mkdir   /a/b/c/d/e/f  

executed in / should create directories a,b,c,d,e,f

Answer 1

Just use:

mkdir -p /a/b/c/d/e/f

The -p tells mkdir to create parent directories if they dont exist and doesn't give an error if the directory(ies) already exist(s). I wouldn't really consider this to be recursive.

Answer 2

Use mkdir -p /a/b/c/d/e/f.
