Haha no problem. That's not like I take it personally. I wrote this tool because I didn't find it convenient to fireup bc(1) everytime a tool didn't display file size/bandwidth properly.

For arguments, I use arg.h, a simple macro-based flag parser. It only supports short flags, which is more than enough to me. It's fairly simple to understand and use, and doesn't clutter the code. See it in action here: safe.c:386.
