[feature] adding bits as units

[radeksvarz]

Nethogs displays statistics in KB/s (kilobytes per second) by default.

One can change it while nethogs is running by pressing the m key. This key cycles through the available units: KB/s, B/s, MB/s, and total KB/MB/B.

However all units are in Bytes. This is hard to compare with other networking tools on another devices.

The proposal is to add bits as units. I.e. by further pressing m would cycle also through Mbps, Gbps, Kbps, Bps.

sounds reasonable enough to me! You'll just '*8' the number I suppose?

If the internal reading is in bytes, then indeed, just *8 for bits, assuming the times of less / more bits for 1 larger unit are gone ;)
