Size representations

Parameters such as names of users and volumes have a maximum length in bytes. ASCII characters are 1
byte; most Latin (Western European) characters with diacritics are 2 bytes; most Asian characters are 3
bytes.
Operating systems usually show volume size in base 2. Disk drives usually show size in base 10. Memory
(RAM and ROM) size is always shown in base 2.
In the CLI, the base for entry and display of storage-space sizes can be set per user or per session; see
create user and
can be specified.
