NAME
memparse - parse a string with mem suffixes into a number
SYNOPSIS
unsigned long long memparse(char * ptr, char ** retptr);
ARGUMENTS
- ptr
- Where parse begins
- retptr
- (output) Pointer to next char after parse completes
DESCRIPTION
Parses a string into a number. The number stored at ptr is potentially
suffixed with K (for kilobytes, or 1024 bytes), M (for megabytes, or
1048576 bytes), or G (for gigabytes, or 1073741824). If the number is
suffixed with K, M, or G, then the return value is the number
multiplied by one kilobyte, one megabyte, or one gigabyte,
respectively.
