but unfortunately what you found is what's needed to implement GNU 'mkdir -p'. Among other things, the permissions of the parent directories differ from the permissions of the child directory. It of course is possible to come up with a simpler API, and that might be worthwhile for other apps, but GNU 'mkdir -p' couldn't easily use it.
