NAME

       physicalunits   -   encodes   and   de-codes   physical  units  a  according  to  ISO/IEEE
       11073-10101:2004 Tables A6.1 and A6.3
         physicalunits was formerly also known under "pu".

SYNOPSIS

         physicalunits [units_or_codes]

DESCRIPTION

       The   output   returns   the    <physical    unit>:<TAB><decimal    code><TAB><hexadecimal
       code><TAB><scaling><TAB><physical  unit  w/o prefix>, where <TAB> represents the character
       ascii(9)

Examples:

         Encoding of "microVolts", using text representation, decimal  encoding  and  hexadecimal
       encoding:
         physicalunits mV
               uV     4275 0x10b3    1e-06     V

         physicalunits 4275
               uV     4275 0x10b3    1e-06     V

         physicalunits 0x10b3
               uV     4275 0x10b3    1e-06     V

         Text representation containing spaces need to be quoted
         physicalunits "kg l-1"
               kg l-1 2051 0x0803    1000 g l-1

         A list of units can be converted using multiple input arguments
         physicalunits mV nA 4180 kg dag degree rpm "mol mol-1" "kg l-1"
               mV     4274 0x10b2    0.001     V
               nA     4180 0x1054    1e-09     A
               nA     4180 0x1054    1e-09     A
               kg     1731 0x06c3    1000 g
               dag    1729 0x06c1    10   g
               degree 736  0x02e0    1    degree
               rpm    6816 0x1aa0    1    rpm
               mol mol-1   864  0x0360    1    mol mol-1
               kg l-1 2051 0x0803    1000 g l-1

          physicalunits `seq 0 65535` |grep -v nan |grep -v null
               shows s complete table of defined units
