.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Parses a string into a number.  The number stored at \fIptr\fR is
potentially suffixed with K (for kilobytes, or 1024 bytes),
M (for megabytes, or 1048576 bytes), or G (for gigabytes, or
1073741824).  If the number is suffixed with K, M, or G, then
the return value is the number multiplied by one kilobyte, one
megabyte, or one gigabyte, respectively.
