Use LibCore ArgsParser to parse the parameters instead of using the raw strings from the argv (Main::Arguments) array. Also, use indicative names for variables in the code so the utility code is more understandable.

Name
allocate - allocate memory
Synopsis
$ allocate [--unit B/KiB/MiB/GiB] [--sleep-time N] [number]
Description
allocate allocates a specific amount of virtual memory. If nothing is specified
then it will allocate 100 bytes of memory.
If number is specified without unit, it will default to number of bytes.
It also writes to each allocated page and then sleeps for N seconds (by default 10).
It is primarily used to test the kernel's memory management capabilities.
Options
-u,--size-unit: Allocation's Size Unit (Base 2 units - B, KiB, MiB or GiB)-n,--sleep-time: Number of seconds to sleep before freeing memory
