Enum size::fmt::Base

#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum Base {
    Base2,
    Base10,
}

An enumeration of supported bases to use for generating textual descriptions of sizes.

Base::Base10 is the “usual” units like “kilobyte” and “exabyte”, while Base::Base2 is the SI/memory units like “mebibyte” and “tebibyte”, (more often referred to as “MiB” and “TiB”, respectively).

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Base2

Base-2 units like “kibibyte” and “mebibyte”, more often referred to via their abbreviations (“KiB” and “MiB”, respectively). Each unit is 1024 times greater than the preceding one.

Base10

Base-10 units like “kilobyte” and “megabyte”. Each unit is 1000 times greater than the preceding one.
