Is there a good library that wraps up memory sizes in a class, like Duration does for time durations?

I'm imagining:

val maxSize: MemorySize = 2.gigabytes
assert(maxSize.bytes == 2_147_483_648L)
assert(maxSize.toString() == "2GB")

or something like that

Maybe https://github.com/nacular/measured/blob/master/src/commonMain/kotlin/io/nacular/measured/units/BinarySize.kt

There was also this discussion recently.

I thought of this https://github.com/saket/file-size when I saw your question, mind you I have never tried it, but you can give it a look

Thanks very much all for the pointers, I'll have a look at them

It seems the biggest difference between them is that some (like saket/file-size) use 1000 bytes per KB, some use 1024, and some give you the option to choose.
