The following commands and options now support the standard size
suffixes kB, M, MB, G, GB, and so on for T, P, Y, Z, and Y: head -c, head -n, od -j, od -N, od -S, split -b, split -C, tail -c, tail -n. * doc/coreutils.texi (od invocation, head invocation, tail invocation): Document support for new size suffixes. (head invocation, tail invocation): Document that -n uses the same suffixes as -c. (tail invocation): More-clearly document what leading "+" does. * src/head.c (usage, string_to_integer): Support new suffixes. * src/od.c (usage, main): Likewise. * src/split.c (usage, main): Likewise. * src/tail.c (usage, parse_options): Likewise. Prompted by a patch from Evan Hunt.
