The "units" command is a Unix utility that provides conversion capabilities between different units of measurement. It allows users to convert values from one unit to another unit within a specified category, such as length, temperature, mass, volume, etc. When you run the "units" command in the terminal, it opens the units program where you can enter conversion queries. The syntax for using the command is usually: units [value] [input unit] [output unit] For example, if you want to convert 5 miles to kilometers, you would enter: units 5 miles kilometers The program will then display the converted value, which in this case would be the equivalent number of kilometers. The "units" command supports a wide range of units, both common and obscure, and it can handle various conversions, including complex calculations involving several different units. It also allows users to define their own units or conversions if needed. The utility is beneficial for quick and easy unit conversions without requiring manual calculations or looking up conversion factors.
