Inodes(1) is better. It is too difficult to feed lots of files to crc
because of the exec stack limit. The file permissions and types are
worth having. But printing the uid and gid needs to be made optional.
They are purely local. The arg list and not stdin should probably be
used when argc > 1.

Please replace the fgets(3) by gets(3). Gets() crashes on long lines.
