I agree it does some, but using strcmp allows matching the flags exactly, and prevents things like "xssstate -v" being equivilant to "xssstate -vxyz". And since you would only ever use one flag at a time, arg.h seemed like it was excessive, but perhaps I was thinking about simplify the wrong way. I also like being able to use only one switch statement, but that's mostly a personal preference. Thanks for the input!
