There is important information about booting non-ack images in docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the new boot monitor is recommended. Changes in this commit: . drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support . facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING . no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries . some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases . drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet). . a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir . new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/ . test compile fix . harmonize includes . /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even less on the state of the machine making them now. . rename nbsd_lib* to lib* . reduce mtree

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm dehumanize_number ,
|
|
.Nm humanize_number
|
|
.Nd format a number into a human readable form and viceversa
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In stdlib.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn dehumanize_number "const char *str" "int64_t *result"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn humanize_number "char *buf" "size_t len" "int64_t number" "const char *suffix" "int scale" "int flags"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn humanize_number
|
|
function formats the signed 64 bit quantity given in
|
|
.Fa number
|
|
into
|
|
.Fa buffer .
|
|
A space and then
|
|
.Fa suffix
|
|
is appended to the end.
|
|
.Fa buffer
|
|
must be at least
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
bytes long.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the formatted number (including
|
|
.Fa suffix )
|
|
would be too long to fit into
|
|
.Fa buffer ,
|
|
then divide
|
|
.Fa number
|
|
by 1024 until it will.
|
|
In this case, prefix
|
|
.Fa suffix
|
|
with the appropriate SI designator.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The prefixes are:
|
|
.Bl -column "Prefix" "Description" "Multiplier" -offset indent
|
|
.It Sy "Prefix" Ta Sy "Description" Ta Sy "Multiplier"
|
|
.It k kilo 1024
|
|
.It M mega 1048576
|
|
.It G giga 1073741824
|
|
.It T tera 1099511627776
|
|
.It P peta 1125899906842624
|
|
.It E exa 1152921504606846976
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
must be at least 4 plus the length of
|
|
.Fa suffix ,
|
|
in order to ensure a useful result is generated into
|
|
.Fa buffer .
|
|
To use a specific prefix, specify this as
|
|
.Fa scale
|
|
(Multiplier = 1024 ^ scale).
|
|
This can not be combined with any of the
|
|
.Fa scale
|
|
flags below.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following flags may be passed in
|
|
.Pa scale :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Dv -offset indent
|
|
.It Dv HN_AUTOSCALE
|
|
Format the buffer using the lowest multiplier possible.
|
|
.It Dv HN_GETSCALE
|
|
Return the prefix index number (the number of times
|
|
.Fa number
|
|
must be divided to fit) instead of formatting it to the buffer.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following flags may be passed in
|
|
.Pa flags :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Dv -offset indent
|
|
.It Dv HN_DECIMAL
|
|
If the final result is less than 10, display it using one digit.
|
|
.It Dv HN_NOSPACE
|
|
Do not put a space between
|
|
.Fa number
|
|
and the prefix.
|
|
.It Dv HN_B
|
|
Use 'B' (bytes) as prefix if the original result does not have a prefix.
|
|
.It Dv HN_DIVISOR_1000
|
|
Divide
|
|
.Fa number
|
|
with 1000 instead of 1024.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dehumanize_number
|
|
function parses the string representing an integral value given in
|
|
.Fa str
|
|
and stores the numerical value in the integer pointed to by
|
|
.Fa result .
|
|
The provided string may hold one of the suffixes, which will be interpreted
|
|
and used to scale up its accompanying numerical value.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn humanize_number
|
|
returns the number of characters stored in
|
|
.Fa buffer
|
|
(excluding the terminating NUL) upon success, or \-1 upon failure.
|
|
If
|
|
.Dv HN_GETSCALE
|
|
is specified, the prefix index number will be returned instead.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn dehumanize_number
|
|
returns 0 if the string was parsed correctly.
|
|
A \-1 is returned to indicate failure and an error code is stored in
|
|
.Va errno .
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Fn dehumanize_number
|
|
will fail and no number will be stored in
|
|
.Fa result
|
|
if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The string in
|
|
.Fa str
|
|
was empty or carried an unknown suffix.
|
|
.It Bq Er ERANGE
|
|
The string in
|
|
.Fa str
|
|
represented a number that does not fit in
|
|
.Fa result .
