|
||||||
|
Binary prefixes multiply a unit by a power of 2. They not a part of the
|
||||||
|
SI system. Most people will say
|
||||||
|
.Dq kilobyte
|
||||||
|
instead of
|
||||||
|
.Dq kibibyte ,
|
||||||
|
.Dq megabyte
|
||||||
|
instead of
|
||||||
|
.Dq mebibyte ,
|
||||||
|
and so on. Mac OSX and Linux utilities commonly report
|
||||||
|
units using the binary prefixes
|
||||||
|
(
|
||||||
|
.Dq KiB ,
|
||||||
|
.Dq MiB ,
|
||||||
|
etc).
