# Description
Small refactoring where I rename commands from "SubCommand" to its
proper name. Motivations: better clarity (although subjective), better
searchable, consistency.
The only commands I didn't touch were "split list" and "ansi gradient"
because of name clashes.

# Description
Commands and other pieces of code using `$env.config.format.filesize` to
format filesizes now respect the system locale when formatting the
numeric portion of a file size.
# User-Facing Changes
- System locale is respected when using `$env.config.format.filesize` to
format file sizes.
- Formatting a file size with a binary unit is now exact for large file
sizes and units.
- The output of `to text` is no longer dependent on the config.
# Description
This PR cleans up the code surrounding formatting and displaying file
sizes.
- The `byte_unit` crate we use for file size units displays kilobytes as
`KB`, which is not the SI or ISO/IEC standard. Rather it should be `kB`,
so this fixes#8872. On some systems, `KB` actually means `KiB`, so this
avoids any potential confusion.
- The `byte_unit` crate, when displaying file sizes, casts integers to
floats which will lose precision for large file sizes. This PR adds a
custom `Display` implementation for `Filesize` that can give an exact
string representation of a `Filesize` for metric/SI units.
- This PR also removes the dependency on the `byte_unit` crate which
brought in several other dependencies.
Additionally, this PR makes some changes to the config for filesize
formatting (`$env.config.filesize`).
- The previous filesize config had the `metric` and `format` options. If
a metric (SI) unit was set in `format`, but `metric` was set to false,
then the `metric` option would take precedence and convert `format` to
the corresponding binary unit (or vice versa). E.g., `{ format: kB,
metric: false }` => `KiB`. Instead, this PR adds the `unit` option to
replace the `format` and `metric` options. `unit` can be set to a fixed
file size unit like `kB` or `KiB`, or it can be set to one of the
special options: `binary` or `metric`. These options tells nushell to
format file sizes using an appropriately scaled metric or binary unit
(examples below).
```nushell
# precision = null
# unit = kB
1kB # 1 kB
1KiB # 1.024 kB
# unit = KiB
1kB # 0.9765625 KiB
1KiB # 1 KiB
# unit = metric
1000B # 1 kB
1024B # 1.024 kB
10_000MB # 10 GB
10_240MiB # 10.73741824 GB
# unit = binary
1000B # 1000 B
1024B # 1 KiB
10_000MB # 9.313225746154785 GiB
10_240MiB # 10 GiB
```
- In addition, this PR also adds the `precision` option to the filesize
config. It determines how many digits to show after the decimal point.
If set to null, then everything after the decimal point is shown.
- The default filesize config is `{ unit: metric, precision: 1 }`.
# User-Facing Changes
- Commands that use the config to format file sizes will follow the
changes described above (e.g., `table`, `into string`, `to text`, etc.).
- The file size unit/format passed to `format filesize` is now case
sensitive. An error with the valid units is shown if the case does not
match.
- `$env.config.filesize.format` and `$env.config.filesize.metric` are
deprecated and replaced by `$env.config.filesize.unit`.
- A new `$env.config.filesize.precision` option was added.
# Tests + Formatting
Mostly updated test expected outputs.
# After Submitting
This PR does not change the way NUON serializes file sizes, because that
would require changing the nu parser to be able to losslessly decode the
new, exact string representation introduced in this PR.
Similarly, this PR also does not change the file size parsing in any
way. Although the file size units provided to `format filesize` or the
filesize config are now case-sensitive, the same is not yet true for
file size literals in nushell code.
# Description
Adds a new `Filesize` type so that `FromValue` can be used to convert a
`Value::Filesize` to a `Filesize`. Currently, to extract a filesize from
a `Value` using `FromValue`, you have to extract an `i64` which coerces
`Value::Int`, `Value::Duration`, and `Value::Filesize` to an `i64`.
Having a separate type also allows us to enforce checked math to catch
overflows. Similarly, it allows us to specify other trait
implementations like `Display` in a common place.
# User-Facing Changes
Multiplication with filesizes now error on overflow. Should not be a
breaking change for plugins (i.e., serialization) since `Filesize` is
marked with `serde(transparent)`.
# Tests + Formatting
Updated some tests.
Closes#13920
# User-Facing Changes
`random binary` and `random chars` now support filesize arguments:
```nushell
random binary 1kb
random chars --length 1kb
```
# Description
The meaning of the word usage is specific to describing how a command
function is *used* and not a synonym for general description. Usage can
be used to describe the SYNOPSIS or EXAMPLES sections of a man page
where the permitted argument combinations are shown or example *uses*
are given.
Let's not confuse people and call it what it is a description.
Our `help` command already creates its own *Usage* section based on the
available arguments and doesn't refer to the description with usage.
# User-Facing Changes
`help commands` and `scope commands` will now use `description` or
`extra_description`
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
Breaking change in the plugin protocol:
In the signature record communicated with the engine.
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
The same rename also takes place for the methods on
`SimplePluginCommand` and `PluginCommand`
# Tests + Formatting
- Updated plugin protocol specific changes
# After Submitting
- [ ] update plugin protocol doc
