Units Reference

A lookup table, not a tutorial — Types & Units covers how unit arithmetic actually behaves. Every unit below works as a numeric literal suffix (5ft, 20kg) using its abbreviation, and as a type annotation using either the abbreviation or the full name:

equivalence.stof

#[main]
fn main() {
  const a: km = 3km;
  const b: kilometers = 3km;
  pln(a == b);

  pln(135cm + 5ft + 123in as m);
}

Output

When two compatible-but-different units combine in an expression, the result takes on whichever of the two units is larger — mixed angles always resolve to radians specifically, regardless of size.

Length

Unit	Full Name
km	kilometers
hm	hectometers
dcm	decameters
m	meters
dm	decimeters
cm	centimeters
mm	millimeters
um	micrometers
nm	nanometers
mi	miles
yd	yards
ft	feet
in	inches

Mass

Unit	Full Name
Gt	gigatonnes
Mt	megatonnes
t	tonnes
kg	kilograms
g	grams
mg	milligrams
ug	micrograms
ng	nanograms
pg	picograms
Ton	tons
lb	lbs (imperial pounds)
oz	ounces

Time

Unit	Full Name
day	days
hr	hours
min	minutes
s	seconds
ms	milliseconds
us	microseconds
ns	nanoseconds

Time.now() returns a plain ms value for exactly this reason — subtracting or adding any other time unit against it just works.

Temperature

Unit	Full Name
K	kelvin
C	celsius
F	fahrenheit

Angles

Unit	Full Name	Range
rad	radians	clamped to ±360° equivalent
deg	degrees	clamped to ±360°
prad	pradians (positive radians)	clamped to [0°, 360°)
pdeg	pdegrees (positive degrees)	clamped to [0°, 360°)

The positive variants exist for comparisons where sign shouldn't matter — casting -90deg to pdeg gives 270deg, not -90deg.

Memory — Decimal

Unit	Full Name
bit / bits	—
byte / bytes	—
KB	kilobytes
MB	megabytes
GB	gigabytes
TB	terabytes
PB	petabytes
EB	exabytes
ZB	zettabytes
YB	yottabytes

Memory — Binary

Unit	Full Name
KiB	kibibytes
MiB	mebibytes
GiB	gibibytes
TiB	tebibytes
PiB	pebibytes
EiB	exbibytes
ZiB	zebibytes
YiB	yobibytes

Stof keeps these two tables separate on purpose — MB and MiB get conflated constantly in casual use, but they're not the same size, and the gap between them widens at larger scales. If a config or a docs page you're reading says GB but means GiB (common, and usually implied by context in computing), casting to the unit you actually meant is one step either way.
