Hi Fabio,

this is what I would try:

while ((c = getopt(argc, argv, "n:t:v")) != -1) {
	switch (c)
	{
	case 'n':
		n_flag = (int)strtoul(optarg, NULL, 0);
		break;
	case 't':
		t_flag = (int)strtoul(optarg, NULL, 0);
		break;
	case 'v':
		v_flag = true;
		break;
	default:
		return -1;      
	}
}

It's not tested though, but hopefully points you to the right direction.
