Does iftop use decimal (k=1000) or binary (k=1024) prefixes for bit/byte display?

Hi. Could someone please tell me whether iftop uses decimal (k=1000) or binary (k=1024) prefixes for bandwidth usage display in bits and bytes (not packets). I've had a quick dig in the source and I think that (according to the definition of, and calls to, readable_size in ui_common.c) it's 1024, but I'd be very grateful for a confirmation either way. (FWIW, I'm using iftop "2018-10-03-77901c8c-1" on Openwrt trunk) Many thanks, Jaime
