bytecount

bytecount

Go pretty printer for byte counts.

Only depends on the standard library.

Usage

go get github.com/linkdata/bytecount

When printing byte counts using the fmt package, pass the values using bytecount.N(n).

You may pass width and precision if you wish. The default is to keep the output to a maximum of five characters while still showing as much precision as possible.

If the formatting verb is b (e.g. "%b"), the value is multiplied by 8 and the suffix is changed from B (bytes) to b (bits).

Example

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/linkdata/bytecount"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Print(bytecount.N(53667551))
	// Output:
	// 51.2MB
}
