units
The units program converts quantities expressed in various scales to
their equivalents in other scales. The units program can only handle
multiplicative scale changes. For example, it cannot convert Celsius to
Fahrenheit but it can convert temperature differences between those
temperature scales.
The units are defined in an external data file. You can use the extensive data file that comes with this program, or you can provide your own data file to suit your needs.
You can use the program interactively with prompts, or you can use it from the command line.
