;;; bytes.el --- Working with byte values -*- lexical-binding: t -*-

;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
;; Version: 0.0.1
;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "24.3"))

;;; Commentary:
;; Functions to help with human-readable representations of byte values.
;;
;; Usage:
;; See the test cases for example usage.  Or better yet, I should use a type of
;; structured documentation that would allow me to expose a view into the test
;; suite here.  Is this currently possible in Elisp?
;;
;; API:
;; - serialize :: Integer -> String
;;
;; Wish list:
;; - Rounding: e.g. (bytes (* 1024 1.7)) => "2KB"

;;; Code:

;; TODO: Support -ibabyte variants like Gibibyte (GiB).

;; Ranges:
;;  B: [   0,  1e3)
;; KB: [ 1e3,  1e6)
;; MB: [ 1e6,  1e6)
;; GB: [ 1e9, 1e12)
;; TB: [1e12, 1e15)
;; PB: [1e15, 1e18)
;;
;; Note: I'm currently not support exabytes because that causes the integer to
;;  overflow.  I imagine a larger integer type may exist, but for now, I'll
;;  treat this as a YAGNI.
