IMHO use of this "if condition goto print error exit" pattern makes
the code harder to read.  Use of gotos is used when a function creates
state which needs tearing down in reverse on error before returning.
I think the errors should be printed at the point of detection.  Like
this:

+       if (!s) {
+               fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: Size value is empty\n");
+               exit(1);
+       }
+       ret = strtoll(s, &endptr, 10);
+       if (endptr == s) {
+               fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: Size value '%s' is invalid\n", s);
+               exit(1);
+       }

etc.

Thanks,
Mike
