That probably explains why it has been lower case from the first commit :) I hate to refer to Wikipedia, but well, it's what we have -- this table says that it is 'k' for kilo but 'Ki' for kibi so KiB would be the correct output format. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix oh, and this nist.gov page agrees: https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html I'm mostly worried about anything that's parsing the output and expecting kiB.
