Hi.

The shell (well actually the OS) has programs to create (mkdir), remove (rmdir) and change (cd) directories.

Beyond that, I'm not sure what you're asking.

What do you mean by "my shell"? And what has C got to do with any of this?

mkdirp(3G)																mkdirp(3G)

NAME
mkdirp(), rmdirp() - create, remove directories in a path SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
creates all the missing directories in the given path with the given mode (see chmod(2) for the values of mode.) The protection part of the mode argument is modified by the process's file creation mask (see umask(2)). rmdirp removes directories in path d. This removal starts at the end of the path and moves back toward the root as far as possible. If an error occurs, the remaining path is stored in d1. returns a 0 only if it is able to remove every directory in the path. To use these interfaces, link in the libgen library by specifying For example: RETURN VALUE
If a needed directory cannot be created, returns -1 and sets to one of the error numbers. If all the directories are created, or existed to begin with, it returns zero. EXAMPLES
WARNINGS
uses to allocate temporary space for the string. returns if a "" or "" is in the path. It returns if an attempt is made to remove the current directory. If an error occurs other than one of these two errors, returns SEE ALSO
chmod(2), mkdir(2), rmdir(2), umask(2), thread_safety(5). mkdirp(3G)
