digits of the octal representation of the *mode*) are set, their meaning is
platform-dependent. On some platforms, they are ignored and you should call
:func:`chmod` explicitly to set them.
This function can also support :ref:`paths relative to directory descriptors

Recursive directory creation function. Like :func:`mkdir`, but makes all
intermediate-level directories needed to contain the leaf directory.
The default *mode* is ``0o777`` (octal). On some systems, *mode* is
ignored. Where it is used, the current umask value is first masked out.
The *mode* parameter is passed to :func:`mkdir`; see :ref:`the mkdir()
description <mkdir_modebits>` for how it is interpreted.
If *exist_ok* is ``False`` (the default), an :exc:`OSError` is raised if the
target directory already exists.
