Hi setub,
Welcome to the forum and the beautiful world of shell scripting.
It is always a nice idea, though, to try and provide a sample snippet from your code so that our fellow advisers and coaches can get a better understanding. Plus, if there are any more enhancements or better versions for your code, they can suggest that as well.
Do let us know if your problem was solved.
Cheers,
Adwait.

mkpath_np
mkpath_np(3) BSD Library Functions Manual mkpath_np(3)
NAME
mkpath_np -- Auxiliary routine for efficiently creating paths
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int
mkpath_np(const char * path, mode_t omode);
DESCRIPTION
This routine allows the caller to create a path, including intermediate directories. It is equivalent to calling mkdir(1) with the -p com-
mand line argument.
Intermediate directories are created with permission bits of rwxrwxrwx (0777) as modified by the current umask, plus write and search permis-
sion for the owner.
The leaf directory is created with permission bits of omode as modified by the current umask.
RETURN VALUES
A 0 return value indicates success. If an error occurs, the return value is a non-zero error code. Note that EEXIST is returned iff the
leaf directory already exists and is a directory, so under certain circumstances, this error value may not indicate a failure state.
This routine does NOT modify errno.
ERRORS
Any error code that can be returned by mkdir(2) can be returned by mkpath_np(), but mkpath_np() will return the error code rather than set-
ting errno.
[ENOTDIR] A component of the path is not a directory (in contrast to mkdir(2) which returns this based on the path prefix rather
than the path).
[EEXIST] The path already exists and is a directory.
HISTORY
This function first appeared in iOS 5.0.
