Subject: bug#47103: numfmt: invalid suffix 'k'
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2021 17:12:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMoAZbHHZ=3+GkUU+r9Rx1tRpEROAv55Ov-5CvZb2QYhTh7mgw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
the SI prefix for 'a thousand' is a lowercase k and not an uppercase K [1].
The default behavior of numfmt with '--from=si' option is therefore
contrary to expectation:
$ numfmt --from=si
500k # Should be accepted as valid SI
numfmt: invalid suffix in input: ‘500k’
$ numfmt --from=si
500K # Should result in error, 'K' stands for kelvin unit.
500000
$ numfmt --version
numfmt (GNU coreutils) 8.26
