Convert counts to higher units.

|
|
The program will read byte counts in the form of whole numbers from the standard
|
2024-06-03 00:47:14 +00:00
|
|
|
input and write to the standard output the same number converted to a higher
|
2024-03-27 01:22:30 +00:00
|
|
|
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.

The GNU project\(cqs

|
|
.BR ls (1)
|
|
|
|
|
implementation contains a human-readable option (\fB-h\fP) that, when specified,
|
2024-06-06 05:07:15 +00:00
|
|
|
makes the tool print size information in a format more immediately
|
|
|
|
|
readable. This functionality is useful not only in the context of
|
2024-06-04 05:52:28 +00:00
|
|
|
.BR ls (1)
|
|
|
|
|
so the decision was made to split it into a new tool. The original functionality

|

in GNU\(cqs
|
|
