%lu is for unsigned long int; %llu (and %Lu and %qu, for that matter) is
for unsigned long long int.  strtoull() doesn't help us write out a
bitvector at all -- it helps us convert a string to an unsigned long long
(hence the name of the function), so we can use it if we read, say,
"123456" from a file and want to convert that string to a number.
