Print the sizes in bytes rather than in a human-readable format.

|
By default, the unit, sizes are expressed in, is byte, and unit prefixes are in
|
|
power of 2^10 (1024). Abbreviations of symbols are exhibited truncated in order
|
|
to reach a better readability, by exhibiting alone the first letter of them;
|
|
examples: "1 KiB" and "1 MiB" are respectively exhibited as "1 K" and "1 M",
|
|
then omitting on purpose the mention "iB", which is part of these abbreviations.
