NAME
numfmt - Convert numbers from/to human-readable strings
SYNOPSIS
numfmt [OPTION]... [NUMBER]...
DESCRIPTION
Reformat NUMBER(s), or the numbers from standard input if none are specified.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
--debug
print warnings about invalid input
-d, --delimiter=X
use X instead of whitespace for field delimiter
--field=N
replace the number in input field N (default is 1)
--format=FORMAT
use printf style floating-point FORMAT; see FORMAT below for details
--from=UNIT
auto-scale input numbers to UNITs; default is 'none'; see UNIT below
--from-unit=N
specify the input unit size (instead of the default 1)
--grouping
use locale-defined grouping of digits, e.g. 1,000,000 (which means it has no effect
in the C/POSIX locale)
--header[=N]
print (without converting) the first N header lines; N defaults to 1 if not speci‐
fied
--invalid=MODE
failure mode for invalid numbers: MODE can be: abort (default), fail, warn, ignore
--padding=N
pad the output to N characters; positive N will right-align; negative N will
left-align; padding is ignored if the output is wider than N; the default is to
automatically pad if a whitespace is found
--round=METHOD
use METHOD for rounding when scaling; METHOD can be: up, down, from-zero (default),
towards-zero, nearest
--suffix=SUFFIX
add SUFFIX to output numbers, and accept optional SUFFIX in input numbers
--to=UNIT
auto-scale output numbers to UNITs; see UNIT below
--to-unit=N
the output unit size (instead of the default 1)
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
UNIT options:
none no auto-scaling is done; suffixes will trigger an error
auto accept optional single/two letter suffix:
1K = 1000, 1Ki = 1024, 1M = 1000000, 1Mi = 1048576,
si accept optional single letter suffix:
1K = 1000, 1M = 1000000, ...
iec accept optional single letter suffix:
1K = 1024, 1M = 1048576, ...
iec-i accept optional two-letter suffix:
1Ki = 1024, 1Mi = 1048576, ...
FORMAT must be suitable for printing one floating-point argument '%f'. Optional quote
(%'f) will enable --grouping (if supported by current locale). Optional width value
(%10f) will pad output. Optional zero (%010f) width will zero pad the number. Optional
negative values (%-10f) will left align.
Exit status is 0 if all input numbers were successfully converted. By default, numfmt
will stop at the first conversion error with exit status 2. With --invalid='fail' a warn‐
ing is printed for each conversion error and the exit status is 2. With --invalid='warn'
each conversion error is diagnosed, but the exit status is 0. With --invalid='ignore'
conversion errors are not diagnosed and the exit status is 0.
EXAMPLES
$ numfmt --to=si 1000
-> "1.0K"
$ numfmt --to=iec 2048
-> "2.0K"
$ numfmt --to=iec-i 4096
-> "4.0Ki"
$ echo 1K | numfmt --from=si
-> "1000"
$ echo 1K | numfmt --from=iec
-> "1024"
$ df | numfmt --header --field 2 --to=si
$ ls -l | numfmt --header --field 5 --to=iec
$ ls -lh | numfmt --header --field 5 --from=iec --padding=10
$ ls -lh | numfmt --header --field 5 --from=iec --format %10f
