Options which use SIZE use kByte by default. However, a suffix of `b`
for bytes, `k` for kBytes, `M` for MBytes, `G` for GBytes, `T` for
TBytes and `P` for PBytes may be used. These are the binary units, e.g.
for bytes, `k` for kByte, `M` for MByte, `G` for GByte, `T` for
TByte and `P` for PByte may be used. These are the binary units, e.g.
