Tell the world how to convert gigabytes to bytes with units(1) easily
It turns out that units(1) is not as horrible to use in scripts
as I initially thought. When the --terse flag is combined
with an appropriate output format (set via --output-format),
units(1) is actually capable of producing very nice results.
For example:
units -o %0.f -t '4 gigabytes' bytes
is is just going to print out the expected value of 4294967296.
There is no time to waste. People have to know about it.
I am adding an example for this at the top of the examples section
because this is what users are most likely looking for.
