## filesize

filesize.rb provides a class for easily working with file sizes.

That means:

* Parsing strings (e.g. "1 GiB") and saving it internally as bytes

* Handling both SI and binary prefixes

* Converting from any type and unit to any other (SI to SI, SI to Binary and so on)

* doing calculations with filesizes (in a smart way, see Usage for more)

* filesize.rb also provides some default sizes, like the ones of DVDs

## Usage

### Parsing a string

```ruby

Filesize.from("1 GiB")

# => #/^([\d,.]+)?\s?(?:([kmgtpezy])i)?b$/i, :multiplier=>1024, :presuffix=>"i"}>

```

### Converting filesizes

```ruby

Filesize.from("1 GiB").to_f('KiB') # => 1048576.0

Filesize.from("1 GiB").to_f('KB')  # => 1073741.824

Filesize.from("1 GB").to_i         # => 1000000000

```

### Outputting filesizes

```ruby

Filesize.from("12502343 B").to_s('GiB') # => "0.01 GiB"

Filesize.from("12502343 B").pretty      # => "11.92 MiB"

```

### Comparing filesizes

```ruby

Filesize.from("1 KB") <=> Filesize.from("1 MB") # => -1

```

### Calculating with filesizes

#### The file size on the left side sets the type

```ruby

(Filesize.from("1400 MB")  + Filesize.from("1400 MiB")).pretty # => "2.87 GB"

(Filesize.from("1400 MiB") + Filesize.from("1400 MB")).pretty  # => "2.67 GiB"

```

#### Filesizes can also be coerced

```ruby

(Filesize.from("1400 MiB") + 1024).pretty # => "1.37 GiB"

(1024 + Filesize.from("1400 MB")).pretty  # => "1.40 GB"

```

#### filesize.rb is smart about the return value

```ruby

Filesize.from("1400 MiB") / Filesize.from("700 MiB") # => 2.0

```

#### One can also use predefined sizes

```ruby

Filesize::DVD / Filesize::CD # => 6.13566756571429

```
