Units
~~~~~

To display quantities, Borg takes care of respecting the
usual conventions of scale. Disk sizes are displayed in `decimal
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal>`_, using powers of ten (so
``kB`` means 1000 bytes). For memory usage, `binary prefixes
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix>`_ are used, and are
indicated using the `IEC binary prefixes
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_80000-13#Prefixes_for_binary_multiples>`_,
using powers of two (so ``KiB`` means 1024 bytes).
[DOCS] #4587 – Make Sphinx warnings break docs build general.rst and man_intro.rst both included usage_general.rst.inc, which resulted in three Sphinx warning "WARNING: duplicate label". To prevent this we move all sections of usage_general into own include files and add a second usage_general file without the three labels. 2020-03-16 18:17:16 +00:00			`Units`
