Possible solution using ~dd~, ~od~, and ~if [ -z string ]~ [[https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/33055][here]].

+Support storing options in a ~$HOME/.config/bklog/options.conf~ file
+so individual calls to ~bklog~ don't have to be so long. Aliases can
+be used instead to make ~bklog~ calls shorter, but cron jobs don't
+necessarily source alias files. Explicitly reading options from a
+configuration file would be more reliable, although it complicates
+usage of ~bklog~.
+ *** 2020-07-20T01:45Z; bktei>
+ It should be possible to specify options via a configuration file
+ stored within a ~~/.config/~ directory instead of specifying options
+ each time ~bklog~ is called. This feature would simplify use of
+ ~bklog~ in situations where specifying options is tiresome and only
+ quick / one-off use of ~bklog~ is needed.
