Question

I want an easy way to create multiple directories in C++ on Linux.

For example, I want to save a file lola.file in the directory:

/tmp/a/b/c 

but if the directories are not there I want them to be created automagically. A working example would be perfect.

Answer 1

Easy with Boost.Filesystem: create_directories

#include <boost/filesystem.hpp> //... boost::filesystem::create_directories('/tmp/a/b/c'); 

Returns: true if a new directory was created, otherwise false.
