.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
hru
|
|
.\"
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Convert counts to higher units.
|
|
|
|
Byte counts will be read in the form of whole numbers from the standard input
|
|
and be written to the standard output the same number converted to a higher unit
|
|
of data as defined by the \fIInternational System of Units\fP.
|
|
|
|
The program will convert the byte count to the highest unit possible where the
|
|
value is greater than one.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
|
|
If encountering non-integer characters in the standard input, the program will
|
|
exit with the appropriate error code as defined by
|
|
.BR sysexits.h (3)
|
|
and print an error message.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.SH RATIONALE
|
|
|
|
The GNU project\(cqs
|
|
.BR ls (1)
|
|
implementation contains a human-readable option (\fB-h\fP) that, when specified,
|
|
makes the tool print size information in a format more immediately
|
|
readable. This functionality is useful not only in this context, so the decision
|
|
was made to split it into a new tool. The original functionality from GNU\(cqs
|
|
.BR ls (1)
|
|
can be emulated with
|
|
.BR fop (1)
|
|
combined with this program.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.SH STANDARDS
|
|
|
|
The standard unit prefixes as specified by the
|
|
.I Bureau International des Poids et Mesures
|
|
.RI ( BIPM )
|
|
in the ninth edition of
|
|
.I The International System of Units
|
|
.RI ( SI )
|
|
are utilized for the ouput of conversions.
