How about the attached program implementing and demonstrating a new
direxname() function, which uses dirname()'s static buffer to extract
the longest existing path component of the specified dirname?
mkdir(1) could report this in case of error (something like
"cannot create /path/exists/nonex/foo/bar, nonexisting path components
after /path/exists"
G'luck,
Peter
PS. The attached code is a bit modified dirname(1) with the direxname()
function introduced.
