NAME

       nbdkit_parse_size - parse human-readable size strings for nbdkit

SYNOPSIS

        #include <nbdkit-plugin.h>

        int64_t nbdkit_parse_size (const char *str);

DESCRIPTION

       Use the "nbdkit_parse_size" utility function to parse human-readable size strings such as
       "100M" into the size in bytes.

       The "str" parameter is a string in a number of common formats.

RETURN VALUE

       The function returns the size in bytes.

       If there is an error it calls nbdkit_error(3) and returns -1.

LANGUAGE BINDINGS

       In nbdkit-ocaml-plugin(3):

        NBDKit.parse_size : string -> int64

       In nbdkit-python-plugin(3):

        import nbdkit
        size = nbdkit.parse_size(str)

       In nbdkit-rust-plugin(3):

        use nbdkit::*;
        pub fn parse_size(s: &str) -> Result<i64>

       In nbdkit-sh-plugin(3), "nbdkit_parse_size" is called implicitly to parse the output of
       "get_size" and other methods.
