                                         You can't delete the root directory: /

                                     (Normally a sub-directory must be empty)

Where <dsk> is a virtual disk image with an extension of:

    .dsk  (Assumes DOS3.3 sector order)
    .do   (DOS3.3 sector order)
    .po   (ProDOS sector order)

NOTE: To skip always having to specify the <.dsk> name set the environment variable:

           PRODOS_VOLUME
e.g.
    export PRODOS_VOLUME=path/to/volume.po
    set    PRODOS_VOLUME=disk.dsk

Three different disk sizes are accepted for init

   prodos test.dsk init -size=140   # 5 1/4"  (140 KB)
   prodos test.dsk init -size=800   # 3 1/2"  (800 KB)
   prodos test.dsk init -size=32    #HardDisk ( 32 MB)

Examples:

    prodos test.dsk ls
    prodos test.dsk cat
    prodos test.dsk cp    foo1 foo2 /
    prodos test.dsk mkdir bar
    prodos test.dsk cp    foo2      /bar
    prodos test.dsk get   /bar/foo2
    prodos test.dsk rm    /bar/foo2
    prodos test.dsk rmdir /bar
    prodos test.dsk init  /TEST
    prodos b140.dsk init  -size=140 /BLANK140
    prodos b800.dsk init  -size=800 /BLANK800
    prodos b032.dsk init  -size=32  /BLANK32
