Hey guys
i know this is a lame question but i can't manage to find any information about this, i am wondering what the second number in dd's output is when we use status=progress to print out the information, like here:

1454103171584 bytes (1.5 TB, 1.3 TiB) copied, 77843 s, 18.7 MB/s

what is this 1.3 TiB? i skimmed through the man page but i can't seem to be finding anything useful (even the 1p man page or the online version on gnu site).
