.SH NAME

||
|
||
hru \(en human readable units
|
||
|
||
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
||
hru
|
||
|
||
.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.
|
||
|
||
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
||
|
||
If encountering non-integer characters in the standard input, hru 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
|
||
immediately readable. This functionality is not useful 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.
|
||
|
||
.SH STANDARDS
|
||
|
||
Hru follows the standard Internation System of Units prefixes as specified by
|
||
the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM).
