Usage: humanfriendly [OPTIONS]
Human friendly input/output (text formatting) on the command
line based on the Python package with the same name.
Supported options:
-c, --run-command
Execute an external command (given as the positional arguments) and render
a spinner and timer while the command is running. The exit status of the
command is propagated.
--format-table
Read tabular data from standard input (each line is a row and each
whitespace separated field is a column), format the data as a table and
print the resulting table to standard output. See also the --delimiter
option.
-d, --delimiter=VALUE
Change the delimiter used by --format-table to VALUE (a string). By default
all whitespace is treated as a delimiter.
-l, --format-length=LENGTH
Convert a length count (given as the integer or float LENGTH) into a human
readable string and print that string to standard output.
-n, --format-number=VALUE
Format a number (given as the integer or floating point number VALUE) with
thousands separators and two decimal places (if needed) and print the
formatted number to standard output.
-s, --format-size=BYTES
Convert a byte count (given as the integer BYTES) into a human readable
string and print that string to standard output.
-b, --binary
Change the output of -s, --format-size to use binary multiples of bytes
(base-2) instead of the default decimal multiples of bytes (base-10).
-t, --format-timespan=SECONDS
Convert a number of seconds (given as the floating point number SECONDS)
into a human readable timespan and print that string to standard output.
--parse-length=VALUE
Parse a human readable length (given as the string VALUE) and print the
number of metres to standard output.
--parse-size=VALUE
Parse a human readable data size (given as the string VALUE) and print the
number of bytes to standard output.
--demo
Demonstrate changing the style and color of the terminal font using ANSI
