Detailed Description

Definitions of actual units.

Units describe a reference quantity to measure a dimension. The namespace units contains the definitions of actual units (e.g. seconds, ampere...)

Each unit is represented by a class. Each class should follow the interface of util::quantities::concepts::UnitBase, but it does not have to inherit from it.

Each unit must provide its name and its symbol (no locale is supported!). Example:

namespace util::quantities::units {

  /// Unit of data size.
  struct byte {
    static constexpr auto symbol = "B"sv;
    static constexpr auto name   = "byte"sv;
  }; // byte

} // namespace util::quantities::units
