|
|
|
|
Convert counts to higher units.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The program will read byte counts in the form of whole numbers from the standard
|
|
|
|
|
|
input and write to the standard output the same number converted to a higher
|
|
|
|
|
|
unit of data as 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.

If encountering non-integer characters in the standard input, the program will
|
|
|
|
|
|
exit with the appropriate error code as defined by sysexits.h(3) and print an
|
|
|
|
|
|
error message.

.SH RATIONALE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
2024-02-18 14:59:12 -07:00
|
|
|
|
immediately readable. This functionality is useful not only in the context of
|
2024-02-14 23:31:54 -07:00
|
|
|
|
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.

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The standard unit prefixes as specified by the Bureau International des Poids
|
|
|
|
|
|
et Mesures (BIPM) in the ninth edition of The International System of Units
|
|
|
|
|
|
