R: Human readable memory sizes

bench_bytes {bench} | R Documentation

## Human readable memory sizes

### Description

Construct, manipulate and display vectors of byte sizes. These are numeric vectors, so you can compare them numerically, but they can also be compared to human readable values such as '10MB'.

### Usage

    as_bench_bytes(x)

    bench_bytes(x)

### Arguments

`x` | A numeric or character vector. Character representations can use shorthand sizes (see examples).

### Details

These memory sizes are always assumed to be base 1024, rather than 1000.

### Examples

    bench_bytes("1")
    bench_bytes("1K")
    bench_bytes("1Kb")
    bench_bytes("1KiB")
    bench_bytes("1MB")

    bench_bytes("1KB") < "1MB"

    sum(bench_bytes(c("1MB", "5MB", "500KB")))
