c++ how to create a directory from a path

Question

what is a convenient way to create a directory when a path like this is given: \"\\server\\foo\\bar\\\"

note that the intermediate directories may not exist.

Answer 1

If you can use an external library, I'd look at boost::filesystem

#include 
namespace fs=boost::filesystem;

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    fs::create_directories("/some/path");
}
