# Size syntax

Sizes are specified with non-negative integers and unit specifiers, which are not case-sensitive.

Unit specifiers include the following:

* `b`, `bytes`

* `kb`, `kilobytes` (x1000)

* `kib`, `kibibytes` (x1024)

* `mb`, `megabytes` (x1000x1000)

* `mib`, `mebibytes` (x1024x1024)

* `gb`, `gigabytes` (x1000x1000x1000)

* `gib`, `gibibytes` (x1024x1024x1024)

* `tb`, `terabytes` (x1000x1000x1000x1000)

* `tib`, `tebibytes` (x1024x1024x1024x1024)

* `unlimited`, `-1` (if allowed, explicitly set no upper limit)

For example, you can specify a size of 1,000,000 bytes as `1MB`. To specify a size of 1,048,576 bytes, use `1MiB` or `1 mib`, for example.

Whitespace surrounding the value and the unit specifier is not significant. For example, `"5gb"` is equivalent to `" 5gb "`.

Some properties limit minimum or maximum sizes.
