Kb(x)

Mb(x)

Gb(x)

bytes(x, symbol = "auto", units = c("binary", "si"))

Arguments

symbol

byte symbol to use. If "auto" the symbol used will be determined by the maximum value of x. Valid symbols are "b", "K", "Mb", "Gb", "Tb", "Pb", "Eb", "Zb", and "Yb", along with their upper case equivalents and "iB" equivalents.
