[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH 1/2] Add function to convert data sizes

Mon Mar 2 16:45:27 UTC 2015


The new function "kimchi.utils.convert_data_size" can be used to convert
values from different units, e.g. converting 5 GiB to MiB, 1 GiB to B.

+    The data units supported by this function are made up of one prefix and one
+    suffix, both optional. The valid prefixes are those defined in the SI
+    (i.e. metric system) and those defined by the IEC, and the valid suffixes
+    indicate if the base unit is bit or byte. Take a look at the tables below
+    for the possible values:

+
+    See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix for more details on

+
+    If a wrong prefix or suffix is provided, an error will be raised.
+
+    Examples:

+        convert_data_size(5, 'MiB', 'M')   -> 5.24288

+        convert_data_size(5, 'mib')        -> #ERROR# (invalid src_unit)
+
+    Parameters:
+    value -- the value to be converted, in the unit specified by 'src_unit'.
+             this parameter can be of any type which can be cast to float
+             (e.g. int, float, str).
+    src_unit -- the unit of 'value', as described above.
+                if 'src_unit' is empty, the unit 'B' (byte) will be used.
+    dst_unit -- the unit of the return value.
+                if 'dst_unit' is empty, the unit 'B' (byte) will be used.
+
+    Return:
+    A float number representing 'value' ('src_unit') converted to 'dst_unit'.
