    Please, not this way.


Hi Hugo,

Just wanted to check which approach you'd prefer to see me adopt:

1. Providing an option which is handled near the entry point (prior going to commands), which would toggle a global flag to indicate the format.

2. An option in every function which uses pretty sizes. (Though -B seems to be used by scrub, -b is used by calc-size and mkfs utils, -u is used by subvolume list and so on, meaning the option might have to be different for different commands)

3. An environment variable BTRFS_UNITS, which when set to b[ytes], changes the behaviour of pretty printing. Avoids having to touch the multiple sets of ad-hoc option parsing code, but is perhaps a slightly non-standard interface.

Thanks,
Audrius.
