>Description:
I've read through the code carefully, and i found the following problems:
it says "usage: %s [-m] [inputfile] outputname\n", right?
despite of the "-m" , it means if i pass two arguments to it, the first one 
will be treated as input and the second one will be treated as output
and if i pass one argument to it , stdin will be treated as input and the only 
argument will be the output right?
but whatever your arguments are, the output will alway be stdout
according to the code , it uses putchar() to print things but there isn't any 
freopen(*,*,stdout) through the whole file
according to my experiments and oservations this is what it actually does:
if i give only one argument to it, it will use stdin and stdout as input and 
output
if i give two arguments to it, it will take the second one as input and print 
all the things to the screen
>How-To-Repeat:
if YOU give only one argument to it, it will use stdin and stdout as input and 
output
if you give two arguments to it, it will take the second one as input and print 
all the things to the screen
which is not what it should be
>Fix:
it's not hard to fix it. making some small changes to the code(add freopen(), 
or replace putchar() with fprintf()) and it will be alright. And I would like 
to help. Please inform me if you figure out what to do next, thanks.
