.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.

@ -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.
