How can I make Midnight Commander express sizes as bytes/kilobytes/megabytes/gigabytes instead of ‘e’ and ‘p’, whatever they are?
I have read the documentation and cannot find any mention of what these figures are or how to limit size figures to the common units, whether powers of two or ten. I would like sizes to be displayed the way they are by tools like ls
, where human-readable means bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, or bytes, kibibytes, mebibytes, gibibytes. Instead a size of 2402 MB is displayed by default as ’18e’, 1744 MB is displayed as ‘2g’, and 406 MB is displayed as ‘18447p’.
