Hi Assaf and Padraig,

numfmt claims itself (in --help):
  Reformats NUMBER(s) to/from human-readable values.

and in the first line in numfmt.c:
  Reformat numbers like 11505426432 to the more human-readable 11G

Therefore this is my first test:

  $ echo 11505426432 | src/numfmt
  11505426432

Hmm, shouldn't it converting that to a human-readable
number then? ;-)


Looking at scale_from_args: I'd favor lower-case arguments,
i.e. "si" and "iec" instead of "SI" and "IEC".
WDYT?

Have a nice day,
Berny
