 this is fragile, it would be better to use

        case 'c':
            discard |= SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_CLUSTER;
            break;
        case 'd':
            discard |= SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD;
            break;

 and use directly the flags everywhere in the code than use magical
 numbers '1' and '2' etc.
