.SH DESCRIPTION
Hru takes any whole number in the standard input and, to the standard output,
prints the equivalent number in the most human-readable unit defined by the
International System of Units.
Hru reads byte counts in the form of whole numbers from the standard input and
writes to the standard output the same number converted one of the units of data
defined by the International System of Units.
The program will convert the byte count to the highest unit possible where the
value is greater than one.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
@ -29,7 +32,7 @@ message.
The GNU project’s ls(1) implementation contains a human-readable option (-h)
that, when specified, makes the tool print size information in a format more
immediately readable. This functionality is not useful only in the context of
immediately readable. This functionality is useful not only in the context of
ls(1) so the decision was made to split it into a new tool. The original
functionality in GNU’s ls(1) can be emulated with fop(1) combined with this
program.
