[PATCH kvmtool 05/16] kvmtool: Use MB consistently

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The help text for the -m/--mem argument states that the guest memory size
is in MiB (mebibyte). We all know that MB (megabyte) is the same thing as
MiB, and indeed this is how MB is used throughout kvmtool.

So replace MiB with MB, so people don't get the wrong idea and start
believing that for kvmtool a MB is 10^6 bytes, because it isn't.
