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!

stl_ctrl(5)							File Formats Manual						       stl_ctrl(5)

Name
       stl_ctrl - software subset control files

Description
       Each  software  subset  that is distributed on media used with the command has an associated control file.  This control file is created by
       the utility. It contains the attribute information for the subset. Once the subset has been installed on a  system,  the  control  file	is
       placed in the directory. The control file for each subset has a name formed by appending the extension to the end of the subset name.

       The attribute definitions in the file are stored as attribute name and value pairs separated by an equal sign (=). The attributes are:

       NAME
	      The  name  of  the product of which this subset is a member. This attribute has the same value as the NAME attribute defined for the
	      product in the product attributes section of the key file.

       DESC
	      The text description of the subset as given in the subset descriptor for this subset in the key file.

       NVOLS
	      Obsolete.

       MTLOC
	      A pair of integers separated by a colon (:).  These integers are used by the utility to find the subset on  tape	media.	The  first
	      number  is  the  volume  in  the	product  tape  set;  the second is the location within the volume. The values established for this
	      attribute by the utility are place holders. The values are later updated as the subset is being written to tape by the command.

       DEPS
	      The dependency list for this subset. The information for this list is taken from the subset descriptor in the key file.

       FLAGS
	      The flags value from the key file.

Examples
       Here are the contents of the control file for the subset:
	   NAME='ULTRIX/UWS T4.0 (RISC)'
	   DESC='Base System'
	   NVOLS=1:112
	   MTLOC=1:1
	   DEPS="."
	   FLAGS=1
