mkpath

mkpath(path, [mode])

Create all directories in the given path, with permissions mode. mode defaults to 0o777, modified by the current file creation mask.

Examples

Create directories with default permissions:
```
julia> mkpath("mydir")
"mydir"
```
This example creates a directory named "mydir" with default permissions (0o777).
Create directories with custom permissions:
```
julia> mkpath("mydir", 0o755)
"mydir"
```
It creates a directory named "mydir" with permissions 0o755.
Create nested directories:
```
julia> mkpath("parent/child/grandchild")
"parent/child/grandchild"
```
This example creates nested directories "parent", "child", and "grandchild" within each other.
Handle existing directories:
```
julia> mkpath("existing_dir")
"existing_dir"
```
If the directory already exists, mkpath doesn't raise an error and returns the path as is.

Common mistake example:

julia> mkpath("/root/mydir")
ERROR: PermError: operation not permitted (EPERM)

In this example, the user is trying to create a directory in a location where they don't have the necessary permissions (e.g., /root directory). Make sure the user has the required permissions to create directories at the specified path.
