Dear Folks,
Using bash on Linux, how would I list file sizes to 3 significant figures in human-friendly form?
If I try
ls -lh
I get 2 significant figures, but I would like to get 3 significant figures.
Also, there is the almighty muddle between megabytes and mebibytes that leads to confusion about what is being really output, but I am happy with either version so long as I get three sig figs and know whether it is mega or mebi :-)
TIA.
