.TP
SI integer: a whole number, possibly containing a suffix denoting the base unit
of the value. Accepted suffixes are `k', 'M', 'G', 'T', and 'P', denoting
kilo (1024), mega (1024^2), giga (1024^3), tera (1024^4), and peta (1024^5)
-respectively. The suffix is not case sensitive. If prefixed with '0x', the
-value is assumed to be base 16 (hexadecimal). A suffix may include a trailing 'b',
-for instance 'kb' is identical to 'k'. You can specify a base 10 value
-by using 'KiB', 'MiB', 'GiB', etc. This is useful for disk drives where
-values are often given in base 10 values. Specifying '30GiB' will get you
-30*1000^3 bytes.

+When specifying times the default suffix meaning changes, still denoting the

+(minutes), 'S' Seconds, 'ms' milli seconds. Time values without a unit specify
+seconds.
+The suffixes are not case sensitive.
