Standard Multiplicative Suffixes

 < Day Day Up > 

Several utilities allow you to use the suffixes listed in Table V-1 following byte counts. You can precede a multiplicative suffix with a number that is a multiplier. For example, 5K means 5 x 210. The absence of a multiplier indicates that the multiplicative suffix is to be multiplied by 1. The utilities that allow these suffixes are marked as such.
