Hello, Attached is an updated version of 'numfmt' . (The patch should be compatible with "git am").
Most of the previously raised issues have been addressed, except handling
locale'd grouping in the input numbers (locale'd decimal-point is handled
correctly).
Added support for header, auto-whitespace-padding, floating-point input .
Internally, all values are now stored as "long double" (instead of previously
uintmax_t) - enables working with Yotta-scale values.
The following should now 'just work' :
df | ./src/numfmt --header --field 2 --to=si
ls -l | ./src/numfmt --header --field 5 --to=iec
ls -lh | ./src/numfmt --header --field 5 --from=iec --padding=10
The "--debug" option now behaves more like sort's "--debug": prints messages to
STDERR about possible bad combinations and inputs (which are not fatal errors):
$./src/numfmt --debug 60000
./src/numfmt: no conversion option specified
60000
The "--devdebug" option can be used to show internal states (perhaps will be
removed once the program is finalized?).
The test file 'tests/misc/numfmt.pl' contains many more tests and details about
possible inputs/outputs.
If the functionality is acceptable, the next steps are cleaner code and better
documentations.
Comments are welcomed,
