>From 27466409bbdf75d3d2757a279b6042a521858626 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?P=C3=A1draig=20Brady?= Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2014 02:49:25 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] doc: improve df --human and --si, help and man page * src/df.c (usage): Adjust the --human and --si descriptions to not depend on each other. Also include an example that is illustrative of the rounding, suffix, width, and localized fractions. * src/system.h (emit_size_note). Adjust so that it's obvious the description is pertaining to the input SIZE argument, and not to any sizes that might be output by df for example.
