Size
====

 - Test: -size n[bckw]
     True if the file uses N units of space, rounding up.  The units
     are 512-byte blocks by default, but they can be changed by adding a
     one-character suffix to N:

    `b'
          512-byte blocks

    `c'
          bytes

    `k'
          kilobytes (1024 bytes)

    `w'
          2-byte words

     The size does not count indirect blocks, but it does count blocks
     in sparse files that are not actually allocated.

 - Test: -empty
     True if the file is empty and is either a regular file or a
     directory.  This might make it a good candidate for deletion.
     This test is useful with `-depth' (Note: Directories) and `-exec
     rm -rf '{}' ';'' (Note: Single File).
