Package: libbytesize1

Description: library for common operations with sizes in bytes
Many projects need to work with sizes in bytes (be it sizes of storage space, memory, ...) and all of them need to deal with the same issues like:
 * How to get a human-readable string for the given size?
 * How to store the given size so that no significant information is lost?
 * How to handle sizes bigger than MAXUINT64?
 * How to interpret sizes entered by users according to their locale and
 typing conventions?
 * How to deal with the decimal/binary units (MB vs. MiB) ambiguity?
This library aims to be as much generally usable as possible, small, fast and be easily interfaced from other languages.
