You let extra whitespace changes creep in.

This seems like doing this either the paranoid or hard way.
Why not:
	const char *stats_type = NULL;
...

	case 'x':
		stats_type = optarg;
		break;
...
		if (stats_type)
			snprintf(hist_name, sizeof(hist_name),
				 "%s/.%s_ifstat.u%d", P_tmpdir, stats_type,
				 getuid());
		else
			snprintf(hist_name, sizeof(hist_name),
				 "%s/.ifstat.u%d", P_tmpdir, getuid());


Since:
	1) optarg points to area in argv that is persistent (avoid copy)
	2) don't need is_extended flag value then

Please cleanup and resubmit.
