I created the alternative output format just for purpose of machine 
parsing: No need for scanf(), just space separated values.

I was also thinking about possibility to switch between human-readable 
and easily parseable output even to a specified FD, but I did not 
implement it.

I could be easy: Positive number would mean easily parseable output, 
negative number human readable. Just zero will be a problem (but we can 
still parse it on ASCII level and allow -r-0.
