1024/3 = 341.333333.....
This means you cannot copy 1024 bytes only in chunks of three and come out with an even 1024 bytes, you get 1023 or 1026 bytes copied.

9. What is on Your Mind?
A byte is the smallest unit of storage which can be accessed in a computer's memory- either in RAM or ROM.It also holds exactly 8 bits.But its old view one byte was sufficient to hold one 8 bit character.Modern days especially on .NET or international versions of Win 32, 16 bits is needed.

say that i have strings that end in "text"
foo.9.text, bar.10.text, baz.11.text
and i want a C function to chop off the last four characters and replace each string with a '\0'; obviously with error-checking. Any ideas?

xfs_estimate
xfs_estimate(8) System Manager's Manual xfs_estimate(8)
NAME
xfs_estimate - estimate the space that an XFS filesystem will take
SYNOPSIS
xfs_estimate [ -h? ] [ -b blocksize ] [ -i logsize ]
[ -e logsize ] [ -v ] directory ...
DESCRIPTION
For each directory argument, xfs_estimate estimates the space that directory would take if it were copied to an XFS filesystem. xfs_esti-
mate does not cross mount points. The following definitions are used:
KB = *1024
MB = *1024*1024
GB = *1024*1024*1024
The xfs_estimate options are:
-b blocksize
Use blocksize instead of the default blocksize of 4096 bytes. The modifier k can be used after the number to indicate multiplica-
tion by 1024. For example,
xfs_estimate -b 64k /
requests an estimate of the space required by the directory / on an XFS filesystem using a blocksize of 64K (65536) bytes.
-v Display more information, formatted.
-h Display usage message.
-? Display usage message.
-i, -e logsize
Use logsize instead of the default log size of 1000 blocks. -i refers to an internal log, while -e refers to an external log. The
modifiers k or m can be used after the number to indicate multiplication by 1024 or 1048576, respectively.
For example,
xfs_estimate -i 1m /
requests an estimate of the space required by the directory / on an XFS filesystem using an internal log of 1 megabyte.
EXAMPLES
% xfs_estimate -e 10m /var/tmp
/var/tmp will take about 4.2 megabytes
with the external log using 2560 blocks or about 10.0 megabytes
% xfs_estimate -v -e 10m /var/tmp
directory bsize blocks megabytes logsize
/var/tmp 4096 792 4.0MB 10485760
% xfs_estimate -v /var/tmp
directory bsize blocks megabytes logsize
/var/tmp 4096 3352 14.0MB 10485760
% xfs_estimate /var/tmp
/var/tmp will take about 14.0 megabytes
