+Print the sizes in bytes rather than in a human-readable format. 
++
+By default, the unit, sizes are expressed in, is byte, and unit prefixes are in
+power of 2^10 (1024). Abbreviations of symbols are exhibited truncated in order
+to reach a better readability, by exhibiting alone the first letter of them;
+examples: "1 KiB" and "1 MiB" are respectively exhibited as "1 K" and "1 M",
+then omitting on purpose the mention "iB", which is part of these abbreviations.
