NAME
       physicalunits  -	 encodes  and  de-codes	 physical units	a according to
       ISO/IEEE	11073-10101:2004 Tables	A6.1 and A6.3
	 physicalunits was formerly also known under "pu".

SYNOPSIS
	 physicalunits [units_or_codes]

DESCRIPTION
       The output returns the <physical	 unit>:<TAB><decimal  code><TAB><hexa-
       decimal code><TAB><scaling><TAB><physical unit w/o prefix>, where <TAB>
       represents the character	ascii(9)

Examples:
	 Encoding of "microVolts", using text representation, decimal encoding
       and hexadecimal encoding:
	 physicalunits mV
	       uV   4275 0x10b3	   1e-06     V

	 physicalunits 4275
	       uV   4275 0x10b3	   1e-06     V

	 physicalunits 0x10b3
	       uV   4275 0x10b3	   1e-06     V

	 Text representation containing	spaces need to be quoted
	 physicalunits "kg l-1"
	       kg l-1	 2051 0x0803	1000 g l-1

	 A list	of units can be	converted using	multiple input arguments
	 physicalunits mV nA 4180 kg dag degree	rpm "mol mol-1"	"kg l-1"
	       mV   4274 0x10b2	   0.001     V
	       nA   4180 0x1054	   1e-09     A
	       nA   4180 0x1054	   1e-09     A
	       kg   1731 0x06c3	   1000	g
	       dag  1729 0x06c1	   10	g
	       degree	 736  0x02e0	1    degree
	       rpm  6816 0x1aa0	   1	rpm
	       mol mol-1 864  0x0360	1    mol mol-1
	       kg l-1	 2051 0x0803	1000 g l-1

	  physicalunits	`seq 0 65535` |grep -v nan |grep -v null
	       shows s complete	table of defined units
