For example, it can turn .I 1234 into .I "1 kB" or .IR "1 KiB" . Sizes are given on the command line, or one-per line in the standard input. Sizes are rounded to the nearest integer. .SH OPTIONS .TP .BR \-\-binary Use 2-based prefixes (from IEC), rather than 10-based ones (from ISO). In other words, "kibibyte" instead of "kilobyte". .TP .BR \-\-bits Inputs give number of bits, instead of bytes.
