Usage

get_units()

Value

A character matrix with 5 columns: description (unit description), name (unit symbol or abbreviation), full_name (full unit name), definition (mathematical definition in terms of base units), and prefix (logical indicating whether SI prefixes like kilo- or milli- can be applied). Includes SI base units, derived units, CGS units, US customary units, and custom units added by sdbuildR.

Examples
