| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| DEFAULT0 | behave the same as g_format_size() |
| LONG_FORMAT1 | include the exact number of bytes as part of the returned string. For example, "45.6 kB (45,612 bytes)". |
| IEC_UNITS2 | use IEC (base 1024) units with "KiB"-style suffixes. IEC units should only be used for reporting things with a strong "power of 2" basis, like RAM sizes or RAID stripe sizes. Network and storage sizes should be reported in the normal SI units. |
| BITS4 | set the size as a quantity in bits, rather than bytes, and return units in bits. For example, ‘Mb’ rather than ‘MB’. |
Flags to modify the format of the string returned by g_format_size_full().
