Amazing, I like demos!

Could improve code style of newly added/changed lines?
For example opening { put on separate line. So code style is in sync
with rest of codebase.

The commands stuff does not need to use strcmp to detect if option
value have been changed, you could avoid strcmp by just caching old
value prior to calling function the picks new values, and after that
just compare old with new and then if it differs call needed code.
