|---|---|
size_bytes | A size in bytes: one whole number, 0 or more. TRUE and FALSE are refused. |
A string. Below 1024 bytes it is the count with B, as in
"512 B". From 1024 bytes up it has one decimal and the largest unit
that fits: KB, MB, GB or TB. The units are powers of 1024, so
format_byte_size(1e6) is "976.6 KB".
