# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
**ncmetric** (and the helper wrappers **qprefix** and **bprefix**) accept
|
|
very large (or very small) non-negative numbers, and prepare formatted output
|
|
of a maximum width using metric suffixes. The suffix can represent arbitrary
|
|
amounts of growth, but is designed for 1000 (**PREFIX**) or 1024
|
|
(**IPREFIX**). 1024 is used for "digital units of information", i.e. kibibytes
|
|
and gibibits. **ncmetric** supports the large suffixes KMGTPEZY (Kilo, Mega,
|
|
Giga, Tera, Peta, Exa, Zetta, and Yotta) and the small suffixes mµnpfazy
|
|
(Milli, Micro, Nano, Pico, Femto, Atto, Zepto, and Yocto). This covers the
|
|
range 10^-24 through 10^24. As **uintmax_t** is typically only 64 bits, this
|
|
covers the entirety of its range.
|
|
|
|
**val** is the value being output, having been scaled by **decimal**.
|
|
**decimal** will typically be 1; to represent values less than 1, **decimal**
|
|
should be larger than **val**. The output will be written to **buf**, which
|
|
must be at least:
|
|
|
|
* **PREFIXSTRLEN** + 1 bytes for a 1000-based value
|
|
* **IPREFIXSTRLEN** + 1 bytes for a 1024-based value
|
|
* **BPREFIXSTRLEN** + 1 bytes for a 1024-based value with an 'i' suffix
|
|
|
|
If **omitdec** is not zero, the decimal point and mantissa will be
|
|
omitted if all digits to be displayed would be zero. The decimal point takes
|
|
the current locale into account (see **setlocale(3)** and **localeconv(3)**).
|
|
**mult** is the relative multiple for each suffix. **uprefix**, if not zero,
|
|
will be used as a suffix following any metric suffix.
|
|
|
|
In general, the maximum-width output will take the form:
|
|
|
|
CCC.mmMu
|
|
|
|
Where C are digits of the characteristic (up to ceil(log10(**mult**)) digits),
|
|
the decimal point follows, m are digits of the mantissa (up to 2), M is the
|
|
metric suffix, and u is the **uprefix**. The minimum-width output will take
|
|
the form:
|
|
|
|
C
|
|
|
|
This can occur if **omitdec** is non-zero and a value such as 5 is passed
|
|
for **val**.
|
|
|
|
# RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
**NULL** if input parameters were invalid. Otherwise, a pointer to **buf**,
|
|
filled in with the formatted output.
