.TH fmt_human 3
.SH NAME
fmt_human \- write a human readable ASCII representation of a long integer
.SH SYNTAX
.B #include <libowfat/fmt.h>

size_t \fBfmt_human\fP(char *\fIdest\fR,unsigned long long \fIsource\fR);
.SH DESCRIPTION
fmt_human writes a human readable ASCII representation of \fIsource\fR
to \fIdest\fR and returns the number of bytes written.  The result
resembles the file size output of "ls -H"; 1000 becomes "1.0k", 1000000
becomes "1.0M" and so on for "G" and "T".

fmt_human does not append \\0.

If \fIdest\fR equals FMT_LEN (i.e. is zero), fmt_human returns the number
of bytes it would have written.

The output of fmt_human can not exceed 11 (assuming unsigned long long
has 64 bits).
