Nethogs should include a way to display figured in human readable format

[Rory McCann]

Binary package hint: nethogs

Nethogs currently displays raw byte count. i.e. it'll tell you how many bytes you're sending and recieving. It would be nice if there was a way to display this figure in a more human readable format, like KiB, MiB, and so forth. I think nethogs should have either a command line option or a keypress that will display the data sent and recieved in KiB/MiB/GiB/...

Hit the 'm' key to switch between kb/sec, kb count, b count and mb count.

I added the controls to the manpage in CVS.

According Upstream Changelog at 12/05/13 (muzso)

- added new command line switches:
  -s Sorts output by the sent column.
  -c Limits the number of updates (useful for tracemode and scripting the
      output).
  -v Sets view mode (0 = KB/s, 1 = total KB, 2 = total B, 3 = total MB)
