~pcwiz Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 What unit of file size do the UNIX utilities in OS X generally use? For example, when "ls -l" displays the file sizes of files in a directory, what unit is used, and how would I convert it to megabytes (MB)?

MacUser2525 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 What unit of file size do the UNIX utilities in OS X generally use?

Just bytes if you want it in MB then add h for human readable I believe it stands for. macuser2525s-p35-ds3r:~ MacUser2525$ ls -l /Volumes/video/torrents/Rescue.Me.S05M0* -rw-r--r-- 1 MacUser2525 staff 146489717 Aug 8 22:17 /Volumes/video/torrents/Rescue.Me.S05M01.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.mkv -rw-r--r-- 1 MacUser2525 staff 146533264 Aug 8 22:39 /Volumes/video/torrents/Rescue.Me.S05M02.720p.HDTV.x264-DIMENSION.mkv -rw-r--r-- 1 MacUser2525 staff 146015332 Aug 8 22:52 /Volumes/video/torrents/Rescue.Me.S05M03.720p.HDTV.x264-DIMENSION.mkv -rw-r--r-- 1 MacUser2525 staff 146304252 Aug 8 23:08 /Volumes/video/torrents/Rescue.Me.S05M04.720p.HDTV.x264-DIMENSION.mkv -rw-r--r-- 1 MacUser2525 staff 145929620 Aug 8 23:56 /Volumes/video/torrents/Rescue.Me.S05M05.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.mkv -rw-r--r-- 1 MacUser2525 staff 145926670 Aug 8 23:50 /Volumes/video/torrents/Rescue.Me.S05M06.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.mkv -rw-r--r-- 1 MacUser2525 staff 146040662 Aug 8 23:37 /Volumes/video/torrents/Rescue.Me.S05M07.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.mkv macuser2525s-p35-ds3r:~ MacUser2525$ ls -lh /Volumes/video/torrents/Rescue.Me.S05M0* -rw-r--r-- 1 MacUser2525 staff 140M Aug 8 22:17 /Volumes/video/torrents/Rescue.Me.S05M01.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.mkv -rw-r--r-- 1 MacUser2525 staff 140M Aug 8 22:39 /Volumes/video/torrents/Rescue.Me.S05M02.720p.HDTV.x264-DIMENSION.mkv -rw-r--r-- 1 MacUser2525 staff 139M Aug 8 22:52 /Volumes/video/torrents/Rescue.Me.S05M03.720p.HDTV.x264-DIMENSION.mkv -rw-r--r-- 1 MacUser2525 staff 140M Aug 8 23:08 /Volumes/video/torrents/Rescue.Me.S05M04.720p.HDTV.x264-DIMENSION.mkv -rw-r--r-- 1 MacUser2525 staff 139M Aug 8 23:56 /Volumes/video/torrents/Rescue.Me.S05M05.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.mkv -rw-r--r-- 1 MacUser2525 staff 139M Aug 8 23:50 /Volumes/video/torrents/Rescue.Me.S05M06.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.mkv -rw-r--r-- 1 MacUser2525 staff 139M Aug 8 23:37 /Volumes/video/torrents/Rescue.Me.S05M07.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.mkv Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/122202-unix-file-size-units/#findComment-864730 Share on other sites More sharing options...
