DESCRIPTION *write_mkpath*
-If |:write!| is issued for a file that has nonexistent path elements, create
-the full path with |mkdir()| before saving.
+This plugin supports creation of any missing path elements in the path to a
+buffer's filename before the buffer is written.
+
+If 'confirm' is enabled on |:write| or |:w|, the user will be prompted to
+confirm that Vim should create any missing path elements.
+
+On |:write!| or |:w!|, the path will be created automatically, ignoring the
+value of 'confirm'.
+
+The directory creation is done using the |mkdir()| command, with its {path}
+argument set to 'p' to create the elements recursively.
