Add option to set fixed output format for size or at least raw bytes
Sometimes very useful to see all size values in same measurement, for example in megabytes.
Also for parsing output in scripts will be good to have a raw bytes output for all sizes.
For example, in btrfs filesystem df we can choose format via cli arguments:
# btrfs filesystem df --help
usage: btrfs filesystem df [options] <path>
Show space usage information for a mount point
-b|--raw raw numbers in bytes
-h|--human-readable
human friendly numbers, base 1024 (default)
-H human friendly numbers, base 1000
--iec use 1024 as a base (KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB)
--si use 1000 as a base (kB, MB, GB, TB)
-k|--kbytes show sizes in KiB, or kB with --si
-m|--mbytes show sizes in MiB, or MB with --si
-g|--gbytes show sizes in GiB, or GB with --si
-t|--tbytes show sizes in TiB, or TB with --si
Can you please add this feature? Thanks!
-b/--bytes is already there, which should be enough for scripts.
As for forcing a larger unit, that'd be reasonable, but I'm quite out of tuits these days.
