+ (description
+ "The goal of this project is to provide a tiny library that would
+facilitate the common operations with sizes in bytes. Many projects need to
+work with sizes in bytes (be it sizes of storage space, memory...) and all of
+them need to deal with the same issues like:
+
address@hidden
address@hidden How to get a human-readable string for the given size?
address@hidden How to store the given size so that no significant information
is lost?
address@hidden If we store the size in bytes, what if the given size gets over
the
+MAXUINT64 value?
address@hidden How to interpret sizes entered by users according to their
locale and
+typing conventions?
address@hidden How to deal with the decimal/binary units (MB versus MiB)
ambiguity?
address@hidden itemize
+
address@hidden offers a generally usable solution that could be used by
+every project that needs to deal with sizes in bytes. It is written in the C
+language with thin bindings for other languages.")
