✨ NAME ✨

bitmath — command line utility for converting between prefix units 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bitmath [--from-stdin] [-f IN_UNIT] [-t OUT_UNIT] SIZE ...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Run it, and give it a number as the last parameter. That's the move. You can say which units you're giving and which units you're wanting… or not. no pressure bestie, she'll figure it out 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --from-stdin — reads the number from stdin instead of from the cli. it's giving "don't talk to me, pipe me" ✨
• -f UNIT, --from UNIT — the unit you are converting from. default is Byte. like, if you don't say anything, she assumes you're handing her bytes 🍓
• -t UNIT, --to 'UNIT — the unit you are converting to. the default is auto-selected for best human-readability, which honestly? thoughtful. queen behavior 💜
