The du manpage does at least. > humanize_number(3) from libutil uses IEC units. Note that it is optional though. You can use flags to decide what you want and the default is to not use IEC. ls -h uses humanize_number but not with IEC units. In particular, there are flags to control the scaling and prefixes used: HN_DIVISOR_1000 and HN_IEC_PREFIXES. The default is to use power-of-2 scaling with non-IEC prefixes (so KB == 1024 by default). Currently nothing in base uses HN_IEC_PREFIXES. (I see you already reverted the printf, just wanted to point out that the humanize_number behavior is configurable.) -- John Baldwin
