Yes takes a single string with no embellishment, and that's what C provides. There's nothing additional to parse. There are no flags, no additional options, nothing else to configure… and that's by design as there's simply no need.

It's a lose for C either way. Either it cant parse flags, or we remove that requirement, and my code goes from 9 lines to 6.

You can write a perfectly legible 4, 5, or 6 line version in C.
