This is a tool I’m working on that works like the non-POSIX -h option in GNU ls(1):

       -h, --human-readable
              with -l and -s, print sizes like 1K 234M 2G etc.

This tool will take a number into stdin and output the number truncated to the highest possible unit.

I'd like an option to set the maximum unit to use. Maybe the minimum too.

I feel like that’s outside the scope of this program. It’s not a general-purpose unit converter but a human-readable unit presenter. I’ve opened #53 for a program like that.
