The guy who taught my first Solaris administrator class - and this was a year or so after I joined the Dark - or the Light - side and started working with Unix - said that every so often he picked a command at random and read it's man page. He always found something new.
I just found about the '-h' switch. For human readable. For years - years - when parsing the output of df I've had to make the mental translation from Kb to Mb or Gb. It seems that I never had to go through all that.
