Looks reasonable.  My only change to this would be the error line to:

  fprintf(stderr, "%s: Please specify mask values using -mask_floor, -mask_ceil,
-mask_range, or -mask_binvalue\n", argv[0]);

Assuming this line is not hidden in a function!

I have got in the habit of doing this after attempting to figure out what has
gone wrong in a script from log files, only to come to error as such:

  "Incorrect input range".   or the likes. :)

For me, it's C-ish, anything that isn't a 0 is fg. But I often use mask files
which contain multiple masks using different values.
