# ByteSize

> A type for describing a number of bytes.

The ByteSize type is used when a configuration field requires a size in bytes.

Sizes are specified by combining a [floating point number](https://toml.io/en/v1.1.0#float) with a [size unit](#available-size-units).

For example, 10 KiB can be specified as an inline table:

```toml theme={null}
size = { size = 10.0, unit = "KiB" }
```

Or as a string:

```toml theme={null}
size = "10.0 KiB"
```

This will result in a size of 10,240 bytes.

### Available size units

| Unit | Name     | Size in Bytes |
| ---- | -------- | ------------- |
| B    | BYTE     | 1             |
| KiB  | KIBIBYTE | 1,024         |
| MiB  | MEBIBYTE | 1,048,576     |
| GiB  | GIBIBYTE | 1,073,741,824 |
| kB   | KILOBYTE | 1,000         |
| MB   | MEGABYTE | 1,000,000     |
| GB   | GIGABYTE | 1,000,000,000 |

<Warning>
  The size will be rounded to the nearest byte.
