 # Redis configuration file example
 
+# Note on units: when memory size is needed, it is possible to specifiy
+# it in the usual form of 1k 5GB 4M and so forth:
+#
+# 1k => 1000 bytes
+# 1kb => 1024 bytes
+# 1m => 1000000 bytes
+# 1mb => 1024*1024 bytes
+# 1g => 1000000000 bytes
+# 1gb => 1024*1024*1024 bytes
+#
+# units are case insensitive so 1GB 1Gb 1gB are all the same.
