GNU 'units' program converts quantities expressed in various scales to their equivalents in other scales. The 'units' program can only handle multiplicative scale changes directly. It uses a functional notation for non-proportional conversions such a Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius temperature.

This package includes the units_cur script to update currency conversion information; this script requires a Python 3 interpreter and the python3-requests library.

It maybe odd but units is my favorite program; well, except for maybe emacs. :D units is great! Besides simple conversions, you can chain entries together along with values. This allows you to solve most physics problems! Look in /usr/share/units/definitions.units for the definitions of the units & constants.
