Hello,
Is there a command-line program (or a recommended way) to expose the coreutil's
common functionality of converting raw sizes to 'human' sizes and vice versa ?
I'm referring to the "-h" parameter that du/df/sort are accepting, and reporting "human" sizes, but
also the reverse (where sort's "-G" accepts "40M" as valid input).
I found two relevant threads, but no resolution:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2012-02/msg00088.html
Nothing yet. The plan is to make a numfmt command available with this interface:
