+ * The following lookup table is intended to be used when a literal string of
+ * the number of bytes is required (for example if it needs to be stringified).
+ * It can also be used for generic shortcuts of power-of-two sizes.
+ * This table is generated using the AWK script below:
+ *
+ * BEGIN {
+ * suffix="KMGTPE";
+ * for(i=10; i<64; i++) {
+ * val=2**i;
+ * s=substr(suffix, int(i/10), 1);
+ * n=2**(i%10);
+ * pad=21-int(log(n)/log(10));
+ * printf("#define S_%d%siB %*d\n", n, s, pad, val);
+ * }
+ * }
