-p Create any missing intermediate pathname components.
For each dir operand that does not name an existing
directory, effects equivalent to those caused by following
command shall occur:
mkdir -p -m $(umask -S),u+wx $(dirname dir) &&
mkdir [-m mode] dir
where the [-m mode] option represents that option supplied
to the original invocation of mkdir, if any.
Each dir operand that names an existing directory shall be
ignored without error.
4.41.8 Exit Status
The mkdir utility shall exit with one of the following values:
0 All the specified directories were created successfully or the
-p option was specified and all the specified directories now
exist.
