-Create a directory for local executables (`~/.local/bin/` is recommended) and add it to `PATH` (add `export PATH="${PATH}:${HOME}/.local/bin"` to your `~/.profile` - it may also be `~/.bash_profile` or `~/.zprofile` for ZSH), copy the files into that folder.

+## dc branch
 
 Using the dc-based branch might be beneficial for systems where `bc` is a `dc` wrapper, `printf` command does not support base conversion, etc.
 
-In short, it is even more portable.

-##tohex
+### tohex
 
  * `-l` - output numbers with lowercase characters
  * `-m` - output only the converted numbers
- * `-n` - output a single line (space-separated with `-m`, semicolon as the separator otherwise)
- * `-p` - add `0x` prefix to the result
+ * `-n` - output all in a single line (space-separated with `-m`, semicolon as the separator otherwise)
+ * `-p` - add `0x` prefix to the resulting numbers
 
-##tobin
+### tobin
 
  * `-m` - output only the converted numbers
- * `-n` - output a single line (space-separated with `-m`, semicolon as the separator otherwise)
- * `-p` - add `0b` prefix to the result
+ * `-n` - output all in a single line (space-separated with `-m`, semicolon as the separator otherwise)
+ * `-p` - add `0b` prefix to the resulting numbers
 
-##todec
+### todec
 
  * `-m` - output only the converted numbers
- * `-n` - output a single line (space-separated with `-m`, semicolon as the separator otherwise)
- * `-K` - divide the result by *1024* and append `K` to the result
- * `-M` - divide the result by *1,048,576* and append `M` to the result
- * `-G` - divide the result by *1,073,741,824* and append `G` to the result
+ * `-n` - output all in a single line (space-separated with `-m`, semicolon as the separator otherwise)
+ * `-K` - convert the results into _K_ units (2^10^)
