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><hexadecimal
     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
