System: FreeBSD lucid-nonsense.infracaninophile.co.uk 9.0-STABLE FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE #18 r237463: Sat Jun 23 07:14:31 BST 2012 root at lucid-nonsense.infracaninophile.co.uk:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LUCID-NONSENSE amd64
>Description:
An off-by-one error means that humanize_number(3) can't produce the
IEC / SI binary prefixes (Ki, Mi, Gi, etc) correctly.
>How-To-Repeat:
worm:/tmp:% cat foo.c
#include <libutil.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int
main (__unused int argc, __unused const char *argv[])
{
char buf[12];
humanize_number(buf, sizeof(buf), 1048576, "", 1, HN_IEC_PREFIXES);
printf("%s\n", buf);
}
worm:/tmp:% clang -lutil -o foo foo.c
worm:/tmp:% ./foo
1024 i
After applying the patch:
worm:/tmp:% ./foo
1024 Ki
