Here’s how to convert 1000
to "1 kB"
, 1000000
to "1 MB"
etc.
func ByteCountDecimal(b int64) string {
const unit = 1000
if b < unit {
return fmt.Sprintf("%d B", b)
}
div, exp := int64(unit), 0
for n := b / unit; n >= unit; n /= unit {
div *= unit
exp++
}
return fmt.Sprintf("%.1f %cB", float64(b)/float64(div), "kMGTPE"[exp])
}
func ByteCountBinary(b int64) string {
const unit = 1024
if b < unit {
return fmt.Sprintf("%d B", b)
}
div, exp := int64(unit), 0
for n := b / unit; n >= unit; n /= unit {
div *= unit
exp++
}
return fmt.Sprintf("%.1f %ciB", float64(b)/float64(div), "KMGTPE"[exp])
}
Example input/output:
Input Decimal (SI) Binary (IEC)
0 "0 B" "0 B"
27 "27 B" "27 B"
999 "999 B" "999 B"
1000 "1.0 kB" "1000 B"
1023 "1.0 kB" "1023 B"
1024 "1.0 kB" "1.0 KiB"
1728 "1.7 kB" "1.7 KiB"
1855425871872 "1.9 TB" "1.7 TiB"
math.MaxInt64 "9.2 EB" "8.0 EiB
