You can get what you want currently by doing:

du() { env du -B1 "$@" | numfmt --to=iec-i --suffix=B; }

Thanks very much, that's certainly good enough for me.

Today I found that this doesn't cope with filenames that contain newlines, but it's easy to fix:

du() { env du "$@" --block-size=1 --null | numfmt --zero-terminated --from=auto --to=iec-i --suffix=B | tr '\0' '\n'; }
