conv is a lightweight, self-contained terminal utility for converting everyday units of measurement. A value and its unit abbreviation are written together as a single argument (e.g. `100f` for 100 degrees Fahrenheit), and conv prints the equivalent values in all other units of the same category.Supported categories and their abbreviations:- Temperature: c (Celsius), f (Fahrenheit)- Distance: cm (centimetres), ft (feet), in (inches), km (kilometres), m (metres), mi (miles), nm (nautical miles), yd (yards)- Weight: ct (carats), g (grams), kg (kilograms), oz (ounces), lb (pounds), st (stone)- Volume: cum (cubic metres), l (litres), guk (imperial gallons), gus (US gallons)- Speed: kmh (km/h), kn (knots), mph (miles per hour), mps (metres per second)- Data rate: bps, kbps, mbps (bits per second family); bs, kbs, mbs (bytes per second family)- Power: hp (horsepower), w (watts)- Other: bbl (petroleum barrels)

The value and unit abbreviation must be written as a single argument with no space between them (e.g. `conv 100f`, not `conv 100 f`). Only the unit categories listed above are supported; currency and arbitrary unit expressions are not handled. The project was archived in 2019 and is no longer actively maintained.

conv was written by Ben Garrett and implemented in Go. Precompiled binaries were provided for Linux, macOS, Windows, and ARM. The repository at github.com/bengarrett/conv was archived in September 2019.
