Documentation

Overview

Package bytesize provides a way to show readable values of byte size by reediting the code from http://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html. It could also parsing byte size text to ByteSize object.

Variables

var BytesizeRegexp = regexp.MustCompile(`(?i)^\s*(\-?[\d\.]+)\s*([KMGTPEZY]?B|[BKMGTPEZY]|)\s*$`)

BytesizeRegexp is the regexp object for ByteSize Text. The REGEXP is:

(?i)^\s*([\-?[\d\.]+)\s*([KMGTPEZY]?B|[BKMGTPEZY]|)\s?$

Example:

data["1234.2 kb"] = 1263820.80    // lower case
data["-1234.2 kb"] = -1263820.80  // lower case
data[" 1234.2  kb "] = 1263820.80 // space
data["1234.2 k"] = 1263820.80     // simple unit
data["1234.2 "] = 1234.2          // no unit
data[" kb "] = -1                 // illegal value
data["- kb"] = -1                 // illegal value
data["1234.2 aB"] = -1            // illegal unit
data["1234.2 Packages"] = -1      // illegal unit

var ErrText = "illegal bytesize text"

ErrText is error information for Illegal byte size text

Functions

func ParseByteSize

func ParseByteSize(val string) (int, error)

ParseByteSize parses byte size from string.

Types

type ByteSize

type ByteSize float64

ByteSize stands for byte size. Division operation is needed, so it uses float64 instead of uint64

const (
	B ByteSize = 1 << (10 * iota)
	KB
	MB
	GB
	TB
	PB
	EB
	ZB
	YB
)

const for bytesize. B is also specified.

func Parse

func Parse(sizeText []byte) (ByteSize, error)

Parse parses ByteSize Text to ByteSize object

Example

size, err := bytesize.Parse([]byte("1.5 KB"))
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
}
fmt.Printf("%.0f bytes\n", size)

func (ByteSize) String

func (b ByteSize) String() string

Print readable values of byte size
