If set to true, means that any intermediate directories will also be created (as with the shell command mkdir -p).

Intermediate directories are created with the same permissions.

When recursive is set to true, succeeds silently (without changing any permissions) if a directory already exists at the path, or if the path is a symlink to an existing directory.

Permissions to use when creating the directory (defaults to 0o777, before the process's umask).

Ignored on Windows.
