BinaryDataSize

object BinaryDataSize : DataSizeInBytes

Provides binary (base-1024) data size constants, following IEC standards (e.g., KiB, MiB). This is typically used for memory-related calculations, such as RAM or certain software contexts.

The constants are defined using bit-shifting for powers of 1024, ensuring accurate binary scaling. Extension properties (e.g., kib, mib) are provided for convenient conversion of Int, Long, and Double values to their respective binary data sizes.

For petabyte (pib) and exabyte (eib) conversions, use the Safe variants (e.g., pibSafe, eibSafe) to avoid overflow risks with large numbers.
