I had another idea about format - instead using +-, we can use case sensitive options  same to pg_dump command line (with extending Df - because these options doesn't exists in short form)

So format can looks like

[tTnNDf] {objectname}

What do you think about this? This format is simpler, and it can work. What do you think about it?

The code is 100% mine. It is not copy from gnulib and everybody can simply check it

Reduced in functionality sense. There is no full argument check that is necessary for glibc functions. There are no memory checks because pg_malloc, pg_realloc are used.
