A commandline option would suit better IMHO. If this is a one-shot task
to find the sizes expressed with a different multiplier, then I don't
understhand the env variable approach. If it's meant to express all
size-related numbers with a given multiplier, than it could make sense,
but it has to be well documented and possibly a better variable name
picked.

Hugo referenced one of his patches,
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg06518.html
that adds -h or -H (1024-based and SI-based), but that does not fix the
problem that you want to se a specific size. So, I'm suggesting a
generic option

--units=PFX

where PFX can be arbitrary from KB, KiB and the rest of the list. Plus a
way to include the human-readable forms, both 1024- and SI-based.
