find(1) documents the following suffixes that can be applied to the
argument of a -size criterion:
`k' for Kilobytes (units of 1024 bytes)
`M' for Megabytes (units of 1048576 bytes)
`G' for Gigabytes (units of 1073741824 bytes)
These are not the correct names for these units. The prefixes "kilo-",
"mega-" and "giga-" properly refer to the decimal multipliers 10^3,
10^6, and 10^9. To refer to the binary multipliers 2^10, 2^20, and
2^30 the documentation should instead use the IEC prefixes "kibi-",
"mebi-", and "gibi-".
