What are the units for `--countmin-size`? #57

Neither the usage message nor the documentation in README.md explain what are the units of the [size] parameter for the --countmin-size option. Is it bytes?

dnbaker commented 2 years ago

It's in the number of registers, not bytes. Each register is 4 bytes. Soon I might add [KMG] notation so that this can be done with fewer characters.
