• floatfmt (str) – The format for the float before the size descriptor (e.g., 2.34K).

• base (int) – The base of the units. Typically 1024 but 1000 can be used as well.

• threshold (int or float) – The threshold for using the next unit. For example, if base is 1024 and threshold is 1000, then 1000 bytes will be returned as 0.98K.

Returns:
