It would be better to split this patch to three small patches: 1. err/warn() stuff 2. getopt_long() implementation 3. strtol() > -static void > -die(const char *str) { > - fprintf(stderr, "%s: %s\n", program_name, str); > - exit(1); > + _("Usage: %s [options] device [size]\n\n"), > + program_invocation_short_name); > + > + puts(_( " -c, --check check bad blocks before creating the swap area\n" > + " -f, --force force; will allow larger swap than device\n" > + " -p, --pagesize specify page size\n" > + " -L, --label specify label\n" > + " -v, --swapversion specify swap-space version\n" > + " -U, --uuid specify the uuid to use\n" > + " -V, --version print version and exit\n")); Maybe you can add --help, -h too. > + warnx(_("%s: warning: don't erase bootbits sectors"), devname); > + if (type) { > + fprintf(stderr, > + _(" (%s partition table detected).
