* Tell the world how to convert gigabytes to bytes with units(1) easilyMateusz Piotrowski2020-03-171-5/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that units(1) is not as horrible to use in scripts as I initially thought. When the --terse flag is combined with an appropriate output format (set via --output-format), units(1) is actually capable of producing very nice results. For example: units -o %0.f -t '4 gigabytes' bytes is is just going to print out the expected value of 4294967296. There is no time to waste. People have to know about it. I am adding an example for this at the top of the examples section because this is what users are most likely looking for.

* units(1): Refactor the manual page and update usage informationMateusz Piotrowski2020-02-031-114/+370
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changes to units.1: - Change the description to a more descriptive "conversion calculator". - Sort options. - Split the description into sections to make it easier to navigate the manual page. - Improve the description of various options. - Document the default value of the output format. - Use more mdoc macros for better readability. - Document the behavior of the PATH environmental variable. - Improve examples. - Add sections: EXIT STATUS, DIAGNOSTICS, and HISTORY. - Document that units(1) cannot convert negative values and it handles long unit lists poorly. - Update the documentation of the -V flag to match the implementation. units(1) prints its version and the units data file instead of its version and usage information. Changes to units.c: - Update usage information. - Sort longopts elements. This commit does not attempts to change the current behavior of units(1). What's left to do is probably defining a better versioning (at the moment units(1) always reports "FreeBSD units" as its version) and changing the behavior of the -V flag to only print version.

* Bring a little more compability with GNU units 2.12Eitan Adler2016-04-211-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | - notionally support a 'history file' flag. This doesn't do much now, but is there to prevent scripts written against GNU units from breaking - correctly gracefully quit rather than exit (this will make it easier to support a history file in the future) - remove the "t" flag from fopen which was there to support windows. We have not supported windows since at the latest, the introduction of capsicum. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=298388

* units(1): Add v option: verboseEitan Adler2014-04-141-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | For increased compatibility with GNU units: support a -v option which produces more verbose output when spitting out the answer. GNU -v does additional work in the version, information, and check output which we do not (yet?) replicate. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=264470

* units(1): make -V print version instead of -vEitan Adler2014-04-071-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The units program is likely little used. It is even less likely that a script will want the units program to print out its version number by passing -v. GNU units uses -V for version and -v for verbosity. Increase compatibility between these two versions (written by the same author) by switching our flag as well. Take this opportunity to remove bogus information about the version number and just call it 'FreeBSD units'. Discussed with: cperciva, rwatson Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=264216
