       parrot_mkalloc  creates  a new directory with a space allocation.  As the name suggests, the command only
       runs correctly inside of the Parrot virtual file system,  on  file  servers  where  space  allocation  is
       enabled.

       The  path argument gives the new directory to create, and the size argument indicates how large the space
       allocation should be.  The latter may use metric units such as  K,  M,  B,  etc  to  indicate  kilobytes,
       megabytes, gigabytes, and so forth.

       To create a space allocation of ten gigabytes on a Chirp server:

               % parrot_run bash
               % cd /chirp/myserver.somewhere.edu
               % parrot_mkalloc bigdir 10G
               % exit

       On  success,  returns  zero.   On failure, returns non-zero.  If the command is attempted on a filesystem
       that does not support space allocation, it will give the following error:

               parrot_mkalloc: This filesystem does not support allocations.
