Yesterday's small victory: Replacing %6(size) in my default scan format with "%(void(size)) %5(divide 1024)k" Now wondering why I didn't do this years ago.. :)And when 1.7 comes out, you can use %(kilo) or %(kibi)! :-)
Actually, could use that now, I've been using a git tree copy for quite some
time now... :)
Hadn't noticed kilo/kibi even better. Ended up with %-7(kibi(size)). Which
lead
me to discover:
man mh-format says:
When a function or component escape is interpreted and the result will
be printed immediately, an optional field width can be specified to
print the field in exactly a given number of characters. For example,
a numeric escape like %4(size) will print at most 4 digits of the mes?
sage size; overflow will be indicated by a `?' in the first position
(like `?234'). A string escape like %4(me) will print the first 4
characters and truncate at the end. Short fields are padded at the
right with the fill character (normally, a blank).
We don't mention that negative values left-pad.
