All right - now we're getting somewhere. Since other implementations already provide -g, that is a strong argument for us adopting it. But before GNU coreutils implements -g, we need to determine whether the FreeBSD uses 1G (1024^3, or 2^30) or 1GB (1000^3, or 10^9) (I'm hoping 1G, as that would be more consistent with our existing -m as 1M, not 1MB). Does their man-page clarify anything? - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
