/**
 * This command recursively makes any parent directories necessary to create the
 * path specified by its line arguments.  This behaviour is the same as calling
 * Java's File.mkdirs() method.
 *
 * COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS
 * ----------------------
 * This command accepts any number of command line arguments.  The command line
 * arguments are all directory paths to create recursively.
 *
 * EXECUTION STATUS
 * ----------------
 * This command returns one (1) unless an exception is encountered.  In the case
 * of an exception, this command will return zero (0)
