Functions

func BytesSize

func BytesSize(size float64) string

BytesSize returns a human-readable size in bytes, kibibytes, mebibytes, gibibytes, or tebibytes (eg. "44kiB", "17MiB").

func CustomSize

func CustomSize(format string, size float64, base float64, _map []string) string

CustomSize returns a human-readable approximation of a size using custom format.

func FromHumanSize

func FromHumanSize(size string) (int64, error)

FromHumanSize returns an integer from a human-readable specification of a size using SI standard (eg. "44kB", "17MB").

func HumanDuration

func HumanDuration(d time.Duration) string

HumanDuration returns a human-readable approximation of a duration (eg. "About a minute", "4 hours ago", etc.).

func HumanSize

func HumanSize(size float64) string

HumanSize returns a human-readable approximation of a size capped at 4 valid numbers (eg. "2.746 MB", "796 KB").

func RAMInBytes

func RAMInBytes(size string) (int64, error)

RAMInBytes parses a human-readable string representing an amount of RAM in bytes, kibibytes, mebibytes, gibibytes, or tebibytes and returns the number of bytes, or -1 if the string is unparseable. Units are case-insensitive, and the 'b' suffix is optional.
