Why 'int' and not 'bool' here?

IIUC, if you use 'bool' the user can pass any int/0/1/y/n/Y/N, which
will result in fie_disabled properly having either the value 0 or 1
(or default FIE_UNSET) if a parameter is not passed.

Then
'if (fie_disabled != FIE_ENABLED && fie_disabled != FIE_DISABLED)'
can become
'if (fie_disabled == FIE_UNSET)' or 'if (fie_disabled < 0)'.

I feel I'm missing something, otherwise you would have done this
already.

Otherwise FWIW, it looks good to me.
