From: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@linux.dev>

The new flags parameter allows controlling
 - Whether or not the units suffix is separated by a space, for
   compatibility with sort -h
 - Whether or not to append a B suffix - we're not always printing
   bytes.

If there is a v4, please include some short examples with the .h bit
field documentation. It's pretty obvious right now but these kinds of
things have a habit of growing, so let's set a good example for
documenting the flags.

It seems most of my points from the previous review were refused...

You can move the below under --- cutter, so it won't pollute the git history.

Do not kill documentation, I already said that. Or i.o.w. document this.
Also the _SIZE is ambigous (if you don't want UNITS, use SIZE_FORMAT.

Also why did you kill BASE10 here? (see below as well)

Double flags check is redundant.

And you effectively missed to _add_ the test cases for the modified code.
Formal NAK for this, the rest is discussable, the absence of tests is not.

As you should be able to tell from the name, it's a set of flags.

Because otherwise a lot more code would have to change.

Look, Andy, this is a pretty tiny part of the patchset, yet it's been
eating up a pretty disproprortionate amount of time and your review
feedback has been pretty unhelpful - asking for things to be broken up
in ways that would not be bisectable, or (as here) re-asking the same
things that I've already answered and that should've been obvious.

The code works. If you wish to complain about anything being broken, or
if you can come up with anything more actionable than what you've got
here, I will absolutely respond to that, but otherwise I'm just going to
leave things where they sit.

Eh?

The core algorihtm for printing out a number in human readable units;
that's definitely worth a test, and I assume there already is one - I
didn't touch that.

But whether or not the units suffix has a space, or a B suffix? That's
not going to break in subtle ways; that either works or it doesn't.

you just added:

#define	STRING_UNITS_10		0
#define STRING_UNITS_2		STRING_SIZE_BASE2

and you wouldn't need to change any of the callers.

I do not understand why I should do *your* job.
Nevertheless, I have just sent my version of this change.
Enjoy!
