.. class:: FormatSizeFlags
   :no-contents-entry:






Flags to modify the format of the string returned by :func:`~gi.repository.GLib.format_size_full`.













Fields
------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: FormatSizeFlags
   :no-index:
   

   .. attribute:: BITS

      Set the size as a quantity in bits, rather than
      bytes, and return units in bits. For example, ‘Mbit’ rather than ‘MB’.







   .. attribute:: DEFAULT

      Behave the same as :func:`~gi.repository.GLib.format_size`







   .. attribute:: IEC_UNITS

      Use IEC (base 1024) units with "KiB"-style
      suffixes. IEC units should only be used for reporting things with
      a strong "power of 2" basis, like RAM sizes or RAID stripe sizes.
      Network and storage sizes should be reported in the normal SI units.







   .. attribute:: LONG_FORMAT

      Include the exact number of bytes as part
      of the returned string.  For example, "45.6 kB (45,612 bytes)".







   .. attribute:: ONLY_UNIT

      Return only unit, without value; this should
      not be used together with ``G_FORMAT_SIZE_LONG_FORMAT``
      nor ``G_FORMAT_SIZE_ONLY_VALUE``. Since: 2.74







   .. attribute:: ONLY_VALUE

      Return only value, without unit; this should
      not be used together with ``G_FORMAT_SIZE_LONG_FORMAT``
      nor ``G_FORMAT_SIZE_ONLY_UNIT``. Since: 2.74
