bcal online with Winfy

We have hosted the application bcal in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about bcal:

bcal (Byte CALculator) is a command-line utility for storage conversions and calculations. Storage, hardware and firmware developers work with numerical calculations regularly e.g., storage unit conversions, address calculations etc. If you are one and can't calculate the hex address offset for (512 - 16) MiB immediately, or the value when the 43rd bit of a 64-bit address is set, bcal is for you.

Though it started with storage, the scope of bcal isn't limited to the storage domain. Feel free to raise PRs to simplify other domain-specific numerical calculations so it can evolve into an engineer's utility.

bcal follows Ubuntu's standard unit conversion and notation policy. Only 64-bit operating systems are supported.

Features:

• evaluate arithmetic expressions involving storage units
• convert to IEC/SI standard data storage units
• show the address in bytes
• show address as LBA: OFFSET
• convert CHS to LBA and vice versa
• show binary, decimal and hex representation of a number
• custom sector size, max heads/cylinder and max sectors/track
• minimal dependencies

User interface: Console/Terminal, Command-line.
Programming Language: C.
