Move the "--size @FILE" file size reading into its own function for clarity; standardise its error message format to "program: file: message: detail"; uniquely name variables; refuse to accept a directory as a file; and with this option, try reading the size of a block device from sysfs if we can, to avoid requiring read permissions on the device.
