TODO
For each directory processed, *Sortdir* performs the following steps:
- Interate through the directory, checking the integrity of the directory
structure and that of each of the active directory entries. For each
entry the type is displayed (`Dir` - directory, `Seed` - seedling file,
`Sapl` - sapling file, `Tree` - tree file, `Fork` - GSOS file with
resource fork. The number of blocks belonging to each entry displayed,
followed by `[ OK ]` if no errors were found. If errors were found
they are printed out below the directory entry in question.
- If sorting was requested, the sorted directory is displayed. This second
listing will reflect any filename case conversions or time/date format
conversions. For each file the type, filename, number of blocks, EOF
position in bytes and date time are displayed. Normally the modification
date/time is shown, but this may be switched to the creation time if the
`-c` command line option is used. This listing also allows the on-disk
format of the date/time fields to be determined as follows: the new-style
ProDOS 2.5+ format is indentied by showing an asterisk to the right of the
date/time.
- If writing to disk is enabled then a message is shown confirming the
updated directory has been written back to disk. If writing to disk is
not enabled, which is the default, a warning message is displayed.
