The directory path.
mode
The mode is 0777 by default, which means the widest possible
access. For more information on modes, read the details
on the chmod page.
mode is ignored on Windows.
Note that you probably want to specify the mode as an octal number,
which means it should have a leading zero. The mode is also modified
by the current umask, which you can change using
umask.
recursive
Allows the creation of nested directories specified in the
pathname.
