The Free Software Foundation's "units" unit conversion and calculation utility.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GNU units converts quantities expressed in various scales to their equivalents
|
||
|
|
in other scales. Units can only handle multiplicative scale changes. For
|
||
|
|
example, it cannot convert Celsius to Fahrenheit but it can convert
|
||
|
|
temperature differences between those temperature scales.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The units are defined externally in an extensive, well annotated data file
|
||
|
|
that defines over 2000 units. You can also provide your own data file.

Note that this port will install the utility with a 'g' prefix,
|
||
|
|
e.g. gunits, but the texinfo documentation will refer to it without
|
||
|
|
the 'g' prefix.
