The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Porting my very simple C code from Unixen/macOS to Windows
Between -std=c99 and removing these headers, you're missing time definitions (struct timeval, gettimeofday) and option parsing definitions (struct option, getopt_long). Mingw-w64 provides all this for compatibility, but MSVC has none of these, so you'll need to write replacements. I've written embeddable, public domain implementations of getopt and something like getopt_long, in case that helps. These are how I deal with option parsing portability.

I recently made a simple project in C. Would be really helpful if someone could review my code.
The option parser is crude and doesn't follow conventions. Particularly the lack of -- support (disables option parsing) would make it impossible to use safely in scripts. If you don't want to use the system or toolchain-provided getopt, here's a public domain, embeddable implementation: getopt.h

How to properly handle position non-specific program arguments? ./my_prog --format:"mp3"
On unix-like systems there's a getopt function for parsing short options. Mingw-w64 has one as well, to cover Windows programs. If I care about portability, I just embed my own so it not only works everywhere, it behave the same everywhere, too.

[ Feed back wanted ] Is this a good way to handle lot of if instead of if else?

Debian discusses vendoring again
Not only the GNU, you have an example in this thread where someone suggested to use or roll something similar to https://github.com/skeeto/getopt/blob/master/getopt.h, which, surprise, depends on strchr, a function that solves a much trivial problem than POSIX getopt, to begin with.
