udunits

The UDUNITS package supports units of physical quantities. Its C library provides for arithmetic manipulation of units and for conversion of numeric values between compatible units. The package contains an extensive unit database, which is in XML format and user-extendable. The package also contains a command-line utility for investigating units and converting values.

Caution

UDUNITS is typically loaded as an external dependency for R. Please ensure you select the matching GCC compiler versions of your version of R and the UDUNITS libraries.
