# filesize.js

filesize.js provides a simple way to get a human readable file size string from a number (float or integer) or string. An optional second parameter is the decimal place to round to (default is 2), or _true_ which triggers Unix style output. An optional third parameter lets you disable `bit` sizes, e.g. "Kb".

An optional second parameter is the decimal place to round to (default is 2), or _true_ which triggers Unix style output. An optional third parameter lets you disable `bit` sizes, e.g. "kb".

## Examples

0.10.0 switched to base 10, all previous versions use base 2.

```javascript
filesize(500); // "3.91 Kb"
filesize(500, true); // "3.9k"
filesize(1500); // "1.46 KB"
filesize("1500000000"); // "1.40 GB"
filesize("1500000000", 0); // "1 GB"
filesize(1212312421412412); // "1.08 PB"
filesize(500); // "4.00 Kb"
filesize(500, true); // "4.0k"
filesize(1500); // "1.50 KB"
filesize("1500000000"); // "1.50 GB"
filesize("1500000000", 0); // "2GB"
filesize(1212312421412412); // "1.21 PB PB"
filesize(1212312421412412, true); // "1.1P" - shorthand output, similar to "ls -h"
filesize(265318, 2, false) // "259.10 KB" - disabled `bit` sizes with third argument
filesize(265318, 2, false) // "265.32 kB" - disabled `bit` sizes with third argument
```
