Total file size of a subset list

Thank you! Yes, that worked very well. But now I'm curious about a couple of things (i.e., please explain a little of how it works):

Instead of bothering you with even more questions than, I looked awk in google and found gnu.org and searched on +=. It gave me this:

ls -l files | awk '{ x += $5 }
END { print "total K-bytes: " (x + 1023)/1024 }'

1. Should I be using the (x + 1023)/1024 stated above (I'm wondering why they have that)?
2. I have GB of files, is there a different number I can use to get GB or do I just add 2 zero's?
3. Why %4.2f\n (what does that mean)?

Thanks!

tarsets(1)						      General Commands Manual							tarsets(1)

NAME
tarsets - subset kitting command file generator SYNOPSIS
/usr/lbin/tarsets [-d] pathname OPTIONS
Enable debugging. Debug trace diagnostics are written to ts.dbg in the current directory. DESCRIPTION
The tarsets command is used by the kits utility to produce software kits for use with the setld(8) utility. The tarsets command reads sub- set inventory records from standard input and writes a command procedure to standard output. This command procedure contains the commands required to create subset images for the subset described in the input. The pathname argument specifies the root directory for the file hierarchy containing the files to be kitted in the subset. All error diagnostics are written to a file named stderr in the current directory. RESTRICTIONS
The output command procedure produces multiple tar files. Each tar file has a goal size of 400 Kb. The command procedure is modified automatically to produce a single subset image when the tarsets utility is called from the kits utility. RETURN VALUES
The tarsets utility has successfully completed. A hard link referenced in the inventory cannot be found in the input hierarchy. ERRORS
The input record on line n is not in subset inventory format. The input record for path1 contains a pointer to path2 in the referent field and path2 does not appear in the inventory. This error indicates that path2 was deleted from the inventory after being created by the inv- cutter command. These are obsolete messages and can be ignored. This is an informational message. The number j is the number of charac- ters in the command written to the output to produce volume k. FILES
