void nice_size(
    char *bf,      size_t bfsize,
    uint64_t bytes, BOOL   b1024
);

Parameters

Key	Type	Description
`bf`	`char *`	Buffer to store the formatted size string.
`bfsize`	`size_t`	Size of the buffer `bf`.
`bytes`	`uint64_t`	The number of bytes to format.
`b1024`	`BOOL`	If `TRUE`, uses base-1024 (binary units); otherwise, uses base-1000 (decimal units).
