On ubuntu is there a way to create a directory path in one statement?
Lets say I have the dir /tmp/foo with no subdirectories, and I want to create /tmp/foo/bar/baz.
mkdir /tmp/foo/bar/baz fails with mkdir: cannot create directory /tmp/foo/bar/baz: No such file or directory
Is there a statement that can do this trick?
mkdir -p /tmp/foo/bar/baz
From 'man mkdir':
-p, --parents
no error if existing, make parent directories as needed
