MacOS's default units(1) is the BSD version.

GNU Units is far more featureful (and useful IMO).

You can install that, as "gunits", using Homebrew.

There is no gunits formula on homebrew, the formula is called gnu-units.

The command to use it is `gunits` though.

Given that I invoke GNU Units far more often than I install it, yes, I referred to the command name.

It's trivial to find the actual package name using 'brew list | grep units'.

Most of the time I can get away with pretending MacOS is just sitting on top of Linux, but occasionally the BSD differences pop up and bite me.
