rilysh 0bdcfb08f2 usr.bin/units: use else..if to avoid calling the next branch Even if the first branch succeeds, next time it will still check for the second branch (which will be false) as the first one was true. Add an else..if statement to address this. Signed-off-by: rilysh <nightquick@proton.me> Reviewed by: imp Pull Request: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/pull/1165		2024-04-19 16:54:30 -06:00

README

This is a program which I wrote as a clone of the UNIX 'units'
command.  I threw it together in a couple days, but it seems to work,
with some restrictions.  I have tested it under DOS with Borland C and
Ultrix 4.2, and SunOS 4.1.  

This program differs from the unix units program in the following
ways:
   it can gracefully handle exponents larger than 9 in output
   it uses 'e' to denote exponentiation in numbers
   prefixes are listed in the units file
   it tries both -s and -es plurals
   it allows use of * for multiply and ^ for exponentiation in the input
   the output format is somewhat different
