<div class="level1">
<p>
PNP Helper functions are meant to simplify the creation of templates. In contrast to the rrd helper functions they don&#039;t call existing RRDtool functions.
</p>
</div>
<!-- SECTION "PNP Helper Functions" [1-191] -->
<h2><a name="pnpadjust_unit" id="pnpadjust_unit">pnp::adjust_unit</a></h2>
<div class="level2">
<p>
(string,number,string,number) <strong>pnp::adjust_unit</strong> ( $value, $base=1000, $format=&#039;%.3lf&#039; )
</p>
<p>
The purpose of this function is to “normalize” large numbers. Modern hard disks have reached sizes of several <acronym title="Gigabyte">GB</acronym> or TB and looking at numbers like 1521073648234 you begin to count the digits so it would be more convienient to translate the value. The same applies to network traffic.
</p>
<p>
The function takes up to three parameters and returns an array with four elements in any case.
</p>
<ul>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> The first parameter to be passed is the number (including an “UOM”, if applicable)</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> The second parameter is optional and defaults to “1000” (e.g. traffic), but might be “1024” (e.g. disk size) as well</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> The third parameter is optional, defaults to &#039;%.3lf&#039;, and specifies the format of the value to be returned</div>
</li>
</ul>
<pre class="code php"><span class="re0">$size</span> <span class="sy0">=</span> pnp<span class="sy0">::</span><span class="me2">adjust_unit</span><span class="br0">&#40;</span><span class="nu0">1521073648234</span><span class="sy0">,</span><span class="nu0">1024</span><span class="sy0">,</span><span class="st_h">'%7.3lf'</span><span class="br0">&#41;</span><span class="sy0">;</span></pre>
<p>
Please note that “$size” is an array consisting of four fields:
</p>
<pre class="code"> $size[0] := &quot; 1.383 T&quot;</pre>
<p>
contains the formatted value including the unit
</p>
<pre class="code"> $size[1] := &quot;1.383&quot;</pre>
<p>
contains the formatted number
</p>
<pre class="code"> $size[2] := &quot;T&quot;</pre>
<p>
contains the unit
</p>
<pre class="code"> $size[3] := &quot;1099511627776&quot;</pre>
<p>
contains the divisor
</p>
<p>
Assuming check_disk returns “<acronym title="Megabyte">MB</acronym>” as UOM you can append that as well
</p>
<pre class="code php"><span class="re0">$disk</span> <span class="sy0">=</span> pnp<span class="sy0">::</span><span class="me2">adjust_unit</span><span class="br0">&#40;</span><span class="st0">&quot;1524MB&quot;</span><span class="sy0">,</span><span class="nu0">1024</span><span class="sy0">,</span><span class="st_h">'%7.3lf'</span><span class="br0">&#41;</span><span class="sy0">;</span></pre>
<p>
will result in
$disk[0] := “1.448 <acronym title="Gigabyte">GB</acronym>
