Didn't know that. But then, I have not needed to venture past
"Unix is the (multifaceted) IDE". ;-)
$ units
2526 units, 72 prefixes, 56 nonlinear units
You have: 44 mm * sqrt(3)/3
You want: inches
* 1.0001343
/ 0.99986569
The manpage has interesting examples, such as converting grains to
aeginamina, and just finding what a jansky is. I sometimes use the
wiregauge to mm conversion.
And for Gene, it is happy to convert:
You have: furlongs per fortnight
You want: m/s
* 0.00016630986
/ 6012.8727
(Add --verbose to the invocation if the output is too cryptic.)
