1 A class of units of physical quantities for Ruby.
3 This class covers most functionality of UNIDATA's UDUNITS Library, however,
4 with a more sophisticated handling of string expressions.
6 UDUNITS always decomposes units into the four base units and discards the
7 original string expressions. Therefore, 'hPa' always becomes '100
8 kg.m-1.sec-1', and 'day' always becomes '86400 sec'. On the other hand, this
9 library tries to keep the original expressions as much as possible by default,
10 while allowing partial to complete decompositions if needed.
