Ah.
What I was trying to do was output units with full precision and as
units that are consistent across platforms, for input into a script
which does mathematics on the values.
After your comments and re-reading the manpage properly I tried using
-i. Unfortunately I get two things I don't want: reduced precision and
unit suffixes, e.g. "0.11G" instead of "114184632.76". I need unit
conversion and rate conversion, but no pretty formatting.
I don't need that "human-readable" stuff from pmdumptext; kmchart does a
much better job at humanifying the data.
