[Bug 515404] Re: find should understand "size -100K" aswell as "-size -100k"

[Stefan Wagner]

Sorry, but that's just an opinion, not a bug.

A small k is the standardized shorthand for 1000. K is Kelvin. M is Mega
while m is meter.

Title:
  find should understand "size -100K" aswell as "-size -100k"

Status in findutils package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: findutils

  You can find files below a certain file size in find with the "-size"
  option. However to specify (say) 100 KB, you need to enter "100k",
  find does not understand "100K", i.e. an upper case K instead of lower
  case. I think find should be able to recognise upper and lower case k
  (ie k and K) for kilobytes in the file size.
