Whatever it is Graduated for.

It usually measure volume by height from the bottom. The graduations are usually in 10ths or 100ths of a larger unit. But these can be mm, cm, Cu In, Ounces, pounds, qty. etc.
This is determined in the design of the measuring cylinder and what it is intended to measure. Set up with other devices it can measure time as well.

GCs are used to measure liquids, which are quantified by volume. So usually "milliliters," "centiliters," or "liters" would be used.
