I must be dense but what do the star and the slash mean? It looks like "multiply by" and "divide by" but it appears to have results of the conversion next to the star... Do the docs explain this and I missed it?

"The second number gives the conversion in the opposite direction." Try with 'units --verbose' and you get nicer output: $ units lb kg lb = 0.45359237 kg lb = (1 / 2.2046226) kg
