To display quantities, |project_name| 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).
