Overview

oxide utilization and oxide silo utilization report memory and disk values in bytes, which are difficult to read at a glance.

A --human-readable flag would be useful for these commands.

More generally, we may want to add this option to any command which returns a ByteCount value.

Research direction

Start by locating the CLI entry points for oxide utilization and oxide silo utilization, then inspect other commands that return ByteCount values. Define the scope of --human-readable and verify that the affected commands display memory and disk values in a readable format while retaining their existing default output.
