用于将大小转换为人类可读字符串的ObjC / Cocoa类？

Question

Is there a simple way to do something like..

[NSMagicDataConverter humanStringWithBytes:20000000]

..which would return "19.1MB"?

Answer 1

Starting in OS X 10.8 and iOS 6, you can use NSByteCountFormatter .

Your example would look like this:

[NSByteCountFormatter stringFromByteCount:20000000 countStyle:NSByteCountFormatterCountStyleFile];

Answer 2

I would mush this into an NSFormatter subclass.

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface SOFileSizeFormatter : NSNumberFormatter 
{
    @private
    BOOL useBaseTenUnits;
}

/** Flag signaling whether to calculate file size in binary units (1024) or base ten units (1000).  Default is binary units. */
@property (nonatomic, readwrite, assign, getter=isUsingBaseTenUnits) BOOL useBaseTenUnits;

@end

static const char sUnits[] = { '\0', 'K', 'M', 'G', 'T', 'P', 'E', 'Z', 'Y' };
static int sMaxUnits = sizeof sUnits - 1;

@implementation SOFileSizeFormatter

@synthesize useBaseTenUnits;

- (NSString *) stringFromNumber:(NSNumber *)number
{
    int multiplier = useBaseTenUnits ? 1000 : 1024;
    int exponent = 0;

    double bytes = [number doubleValue];

    while ((bytes >= multiplier) && (exponent < sMaxUnits)) {
        bytes /= multiplier;
        exponent++;
    }

    return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %cB", [super stringFromNumber: [NSNumber numberWithDouble: bytes]], sUnits[exponent]];
}

@end

Usage:

NSString *path = ...; // path to a file of 1,500,000 bytes
NSString *sizeString = nil;

NSNumber *sizeAttrib = [[[NSFileManager defaultManager] attributesOfItemAtPath:path error:NULL]objectForKey:NSFileSize];

SOFileSizeFormatter *sizeFormatter = [[[SOFileSizeFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
[sizeFormatter setMaximumFractionDigits:2];

sizeString = [sizeFormatter stringFromNumber:sizeAttrib];
// sizeString ==> @"1.43 MB"

[sizeFormatter setUseBaseTenUnits:YES];
sizeString = [sizeFormatter stringFromNumber:sizeAttrib];
// sizeString ==> @"1.5 MB"

Answer 3

Here's my own take on the problem:

enum {
    kUnitStringBinaryUnits     = 1 << 0,
    kUnitStringOSNativeUnits   = 1 << 1,
    kUnitStringLocalizedFormat = 1 << 2
};

NSString* unitStringFromBytes(double bytes, uint8_t flags){

    static const char units[] = { '\0', 'k', 'M', 'G', 'T', 'P', 'E', 'Z', 'Y' };
    static int maxUnits = sizeof units - 1;

    int multiplier = (flags & kUnitStringOSNativeUnits && !leopardOrGreater() || flags & kUnitStringBinaryUnits) ? 1024 : 1000;
    int exponent = 0;

    while (bytes >= multiplier && exponent < maxUnits) {
        bytes /= multiplier;
        exponent++;
    }
    NSNumberFormatter* formatter = [[[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
    [formatter setMaximumFractionDigits:2];
    if (flags & kUnitStringLocalizedFormat) {
        [formatter setNumberStyle: NSNumberFormatterDecimalStyle];
    }
    // Beware of reusing this format string. -[NSString stringWithFormat] ignores \0, *printf does not.
    return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %cB", [formatter stringFromNumber: [NSNumber numberWithDouble: bytes]], units[exponent]];
}

By default (if 0 is passed for flags ), it will output SI units (base ten). You can set kUnitStringBinaryUnits to select binary (base two) units suitable for memory, or kUnitStringOSNativeUnits to have the unit type selected automatically based on OS version (pre-Leopard gets base two, post-Leopard gets base ten). Setting kUnitStringLocalizedFormat formats the string based on the user's current locale. For example:

unitStringFromBytes(1073741824, 0); // → "1.07 GB"
unitStringFromBytes(1073741824, kUnitStringBinaryUnits); // → "1 GB"
unitStringFromBytes(1073741824, kUnitStringOSNativeUnits | kUnitStringLocalizedFormat); // → "1.07 GB" (In Mac OS 10.6)
unitStringFromBytes(12345678901234567890123456789, kUnitStringOSNativeUnits | kUnitStringLocalizedFormat); // → "12,345.68 YB" (In Mac OS 10.6, in the US)
unitStringFromBytes(12345678901234567890123456789, kUnitStringOSNativeUnits | kUnitStringLocalizedFormat); // → "12.345,68 YB" (In Mac OS 10.6, in Spain)

---

Here's the helper function required for OS-native units:

BOOL leopardOrGreater(){
    static BOOL alreadyComputedOS = NO;
    static BOOL leopardOrGreater = NO;
    if (!alreadyComputedOS) {
        SInt32 majorVersion, minorVersion;
        Gestalt(gestaltSystemVersionMajor, &majorVersion);
        Gestalt(gestaltSystemVersionMinor, &minorVersion);
        leopardOrGreater = ((majorVersion == 10 && minorVersion >= 5) || majorVersion > 10);
        alreadyComputedOS = YES;
    }
    return leopardOrGreater;
}

Answer 4

NSString *stringFromFileSize(NSInteger theSize)
{
    /*
     From http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/3038 with slight modification
     */
    float floatSize = theSize;
    if (theSize<1023)
        return([NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i bytes",theSize]);
    floatSize = floatSize / 1024;
    if (floatSize<1023)
        return([NSString stringWithFormat:@"%1.1f KB",floatSize]);
    floatSize = floatSize / 1024;
    if (floatSize<1023)
        return([NSString stringWithFormat:@"%1.1f MB",floatSize]);
    floatSize = floatSize / 1024;

    return([NSString stringWithFormat:@"%1.1f GB",floatSize]);
}

Answer 5

Here is a more Objective C-like function (uses NSNumber, NSArray, NSStirng, etc...) for doing this conversion.

This is based on Sidnicious's answer, so a big thanks for the initial work done there. Also based on Wikipedia articles.

Use it generally like this: [HumanReadableDataSizeHelper humanReadableSizeFromBytes:[NSNumber numberWithDouble:doubleValue]] .

But, it looks like you want SI units with a 1024 multiplier so you would use it like this: [HumanReadableDataSizeHelper humanReadableSizeFromBytes:[NSNumber numberWithDouble:doubleValue] useSiPrefixes:YES useSiMultiplier:NO]

The reason I default to binary prefixes (ki, Mi) is because those seem to be the most appropriate unit prefix set to use for sizes of data on a computer. What you requested was the SI unit prefixes but using a multiplier of 1024, technically incorrect. Though I will note that SI prefixes for multiples of 1024 is fairly common and binary prefixes are not well accepted (according to Wikipedia).

HumanReadableDataSizeHelper.h

@interface HumanReadableDataSizeHelper : NSObject


/**
    @brief  Produces a string containing the largest appropriate units and the new fractional value.
    @param  sizeInBytes  The value to convert in bytes.

    This function converts the bytes value to a value in the greatest units that produces a value >= 1 and returns the new value and units as a string.

    The magnitude multiplier used is 1024 and the prefixes used are the binary prefixes (ki, Mi, ...).
 */
+ (NSString *)humanReadableSizeFromBytes:(NSNumber *)sizeInBytes;

/**
    @brief  Produces a string containing the largest appropriate units and the new fractional value.
    @param  sizeInBytes  The value to convert in bytes.
    @param  useSiPrefixes  Controls what prefix-set is used.
    @param  useSiMultiplier  Controls what magnitude multiplier is used.

    This function converts the bytes value to a value in the greatest units that produces a value >= 1 and returns the new value and units as a string.

    When useSiPrefixes is true, the prefixes used are the SI unit prefixes (k, M, ...).
    When useSiPrefixes is false, the prefixes used are the binary prefixes (ki, Mi, ...).

    When useSiMultiplier is true, the magnitude multiplier used is 1000
    When useSiMultiplier is false, the magnitude multiplier used is 1024.

Answer 6

You can use FormatterKit and its TTTUnitOfInformationFormatter class:

https://github.com/mattt/FormatterKit

It is also available through CocoaPods with:

pod 'FormatterKit', '~> 1.1.1'

Answer 7

- (id)transformedValue:(id)value
{

    double convertedValue = [value doubleValue];
    int multiplyFactor = 0;

    NSArray *tokens = @[@"bytes",@"KB",@"MB",@"GB",@"TB"];

    while (convertedValue > 1024) {
        convertedValue /= 1024;
        multiplyFactor++;
    }

    return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%4.2f %@",convertedValue, tokens[multiplyFactor]];
}

Answer 8

I know the questions is for Obj C but if anyone looking for a swift version:

 public static func fileSizeDisplay(fromBytes:Int) -> String {
        let display = ["bytes","KB","MB","GB","TB","PB"]
        var value:Double = Double(fromBytes)
        var type = 0
        while (value > 1024){
            value /= 1024
            type = type + 1

        }
        return "\(String(format:"%g", value)) \(display[type])"

    }
