Human readable memory sizes

Source: R/bytes.R

Construct, manipulate and display vectors of byte sizes. These are numeric vectors, so you can compare them numerically, but they can also be compared to human readable values such as '10MB'.

as_bench_bytes(x)

bench_bytes(x)

Arguments

x

A numeric or character vector. Character representations can use shorthand sizes (see examples).

Details

These memory sizes are always assumed to be base 1024, rather than 1000.

Examples

bench_bytes("1")
#> [1] 1B
bench_bytes("1K")
#> [1] 1KB
bench_bytes("1Kb")
#> [1] 1KB
bench_bytes("1KiB")
#> [1] 1KB
bench_bytes("1MB")
#> [1] 1MB

bench_bytes("1KB") < "1MB"
#> [1] TRUE

sum(bench_bytes(c("1MB", "5MB", "500KB")))
#> [1] 6.49MB
