Package: dvd+rw-tools Version: 7.1-14build1 Severity: wishlist This would add human-readable sizes to the output. To accomplish this, my suggestion would be to re-use code from ls, which has this option too (both short and long forms).
Note: "G" means "GiB" (1024*1024*1024 bytes). 1 GB is 1000*1000*1000 bytes. To clear up confusion, I suggest listing both sizes, given that recordable optical media is advertised with their GB size. Usage: dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0 -h dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0 --human-readable Example output (excerpt): ~~~~ READ TRACK INFORMATION[#1]: Track State: partial incremental Track Start Address: 0*2KB (0 K, 0 KB) Free Blocks: 0*2KB (0 K, 0 KB) Track Size: 48877696*2KB=100101521408 (93.2 G, 100.1 GB) Last Recorded Address: 48877679*2KB=100101486592 (93.2 G, 100.1 GB) FABRICATED TOC: Track#1 : 14@0 Track#AA : 14@48877680 Multi-session Info: #1@0 READ CAPACITY: 48877680*2048=100101488640 (93.2 G, 100.1 GB) ~~~~ A value in the megabyte range could look like this: ~~~~ Track Size: 438848*2KB=898760704 (857.1 M, 898.7 MB) ~~~~ A value in the kilobyte range could look like this: ~~~~ Track Size: 448*2KB=917504 (896.0 K, 917.5 KB) ~~~~ I also suggest implementing human-readable terabytes for future-proofness. There is a chance a terabyte-sized optical disc format will be released in the coming 10-20 years, so it would be good to get this out of the way early. If the code from ls is re-used, this will be included anyway.
