bscalc β bestie, this is the manual page for bscalc 2.12 π
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so basically bscalc is your little unit-conversion calculator bestie and the way you talk to it is like this:
usage: bscalc [-h] [--version]
[-u {B,KiB,MiB,GiB,TiB,PiB,EiB,KB,MB,GB,TB,PB,EB}] [-b] [-k] [-m]
[-g] [-t] [-p] [-e] [--KB] [--MB] [--GB] [--TB] [--PB] [--EB]
[-H] EXPRESSION_PART [EXPRESSION_PART ...]
like, that's the whole vibe. give it an expression, tell it what unit you want, and it ate π
πΈ positional arguments πΈ
EXPRESSION_PARTβ the actual math-y bit you want it to crunch, no cap. and yes bestie, you can hand it more than one of these, it's literally in the usage line π
