I know Linux command "mkdir -p /home/blah1/blah2/blah3" would create all the sub-directories if it doesn't exist.

how to achieve the same "mkdir -p /home/blah1/blah2/blah3" in "c" where only /home exist

I'm using Redhat Linux 9 on Intel board 915GLVG

The best way is probably to iterate and call mkdir and chdir every time.
I'm actually in the process of doing something similar, and that's the way I'll go.
Constructing the (full) path every time is quite annoying, while changing the working
directory should be more easy.
