SYNOPSIS
- -
- - units [ −v ] [ file ]
- -
-

DESCRIPTION
- -
- - Units converts quantities expressed in various standard scales - to their equivalents in other scales. It works interactively in - this fashion:
- -
- - you have: inch - you want: cm - - - - * 2.54 - / 0.393701 - - - - - -
- - - -
- -
- A quantity is specified as a multiplicative combination of units - and floating point numbers. Operators have the following precedence:
- -
- - + −             add and subtract
- * / x ÷           multiply and divide
- catenation         multiply
- ² ³ ^            exponentiation
- |               divide
- ( ... )            grouping
- -
- - -
- Most familiar units, abbreviations, and metric prefixes are recognized, - together with a generous leavening of exotica and a few constants - of nature including:
- -
- - pi,π      ratio of circumference to diameter
- c         speed of light
- e         charge on an electron
- g         acceleration of gravity
- force     same as g - mole     Avogadro’s number
- water     pressure head per unit height of water
- au        astronomical unit
- -
- - -
- The pound is a unit of mass. Compound names are run together, - e.g. lightyear. British units that differ from their US counterparts - are prefixed thus: brgallon. Currency is denoted belgiumfranc, - britainpound, etc. -
- - The complete list of units can be found in /usr/local/plan9/lib/units. - A file argument to units specifies a file to be used instead of - /usr/local/plan9/lib/units. The −v flag causes units to print - its entire database.

EXAMPLE
- -
- - you have: 15 pounds force/in² - you want: atm - - - - * 1.02069 - / .97973 - - - -

BUGS
- -
- - Since units does only multiplicative scale changes, it can convert - Kelvin to Rankine but not Centigrade to Fahrenheit. -
- - Currency conversions are only as accurate as the last time someone - updated the database.
