Documentation

sizeInBytes :: Text -> Maybe Integer

Read strings describing a number of bytes like 2KB and 0.5 MiB. The units KB, MB, GB and TB are assumed to be base 10 (e.g. 2KB = 2 x 1000). The units KiB, MiB, GiB and TiB are assumed to be base 2 (e.g. 2KiB = 2 * 1024).

sizeInBytesAssumingBase2 :: Text -> Maybe Integer

Read strings describing a number of bytes like 2KB and 0.5 MiB assuming 1Kb is 1024 bytes, not 1000. The units KB, MB, GB and TB are assumed to be base 2 (e.g. 2KB = 2 x 1024). The units KiB, MiB, GiB and TiB are assumed to be base 2 (e.g. 2KiB = 2 * 1024).
