Manticore Search supports special suffixes which makes it easier to use numeric values with a special meaning. The common form for them is integer number
+literal
, like 10k
or 100d
, but not 40.3s
(since 40.3 is not integer), and not 2d 4h
(since there are two, not one value). Literals are case-insensitive, so 10W
is the same as 10w
. There are 2 types of such suffixes currently supported:
- Size suffixes: can be used in settings that define size of something: memory buffer, disk file size, limit of RAM etc. If you don't specify any suffix the value is considered in bytes by default. The suffixes can be:
k
for kilobytes (1k=1024)m
for megabytes (1m=1024k)g
for gigabytes (1g=1024m)t
for terabytes (1t=1024g)
- Time suffixes: can be used in settings defining some time interval values: delays, timeouts etc. "Naked" values for those parameters usually have documented scale, e.g. for some settings
100
means 100 seconds, for others - 100 milliseconds. However, instead of guessing you can just use an explicit suffix. Those can be:us
for useconds (microseconds)ms
for millisecondss
for secondsm
for minutesh
for hoursd
for daysw
for weeks.
