Parsing Options

• case_sensitive: Use 1024 for upper case and 1000 for lower case if casing exists, as is common in unix utilities, e.g. dd

• default_binary: Default base if it is not clear what the unit is (i.e. if it is not ‘mib’ or ‘mebibytes’)

  • h: Base 1000

  • H: Base 1024

• size_format: c | cs | cv | e | ev | s | sv

  • cs: Commonly used abbreviated case-sensitive suffixes

  • cv: Commonly used verbose case-sensitive suffixes

  • e: IEC suffixes

  • ev: IEC verbose suffixes

  • s: SI suffixes

  • sv: SI verbose suffixes
