wireBytesStr() function

Given a quantity of bytes (int), return readable string that refers to quantity in bytes, kB, MB, GB and TB

// basic usage
$string = wireBytesStr(int $bytes);

// usage with all arguments
$string = wireBytesStr(int $bytes, $small = false, $options = array);

Name Type(s) Description

Name	Type(s)	Description
`bytes`	int	Quantity in bytes
`small` (optional)	bool, int, array	Make returned string as small as possible? (default=false) `true` (bool): Yes, make returned string as small as possible. `1` (int): Same as `true` but with space between number and unit label. Or optionally specify the $options argument here if you do not need the $small argument.
`options` (optional)	array, int	Options to modify default behavior, or if an integer then `decimals` option is assumed: `decimals` (int\|null): Number of decimals to use in returned value or NULL for auto (default=null). When null (auto) a decimal value of 1 is used when appropriate, for megabytes and higher (3.0.214+). `decimal_point` (string\|null): Decimal point character, or null to detect from locale (default=null). `thousands_sep` (string\|null): Thousands separator, or null to detect from locale (default=null). `small` (bool): If no $small argument was specified, you can optionally specify it in this $options array. `type` (string): To force return value as specific type, specify one of: bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes; or just: b, k, m, g, t. (3.0.148+ only, terabytes 3.0.214+).

bool, int, array

Make returned string as small as possible? (default=false)

true (bool): Yes, make returned string as small as possible.
1 (int): Same as true but with space between number and unit label.
Or optionally specify the $options argument here if you do not need the $small argument.

options (optional)

array, int

Options to modify default behavior, or if an integer then decimals option is assumed:

decimals (int|null): Number of decimals to use in returned value or NULL for auto (default=null). When null (auto) a decimal value of 1 is used when appropriate, for megabytes and higher (3.0.214+).
decimal_point (string|null): Decimal point character, or null to detect from locale (default=null).
thousands_sep (string|null): Thousands separator, or null to detect from locale (default=null).
small (bool): If no $small argument was specified, you can optionally specify it in this $options array.
type (string): To force return value as specific type, specify one of: bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes; or just: b, k, m, g, t. (3.0.148+ only, terabytes 3.0.214+).
