Why?
I.e. we already have "--verbose --dry-run" for humans, so I assume
this is for scripting purposes. Which scripts would you like to use
this in?

I think printf() would be better.

Yay, more special cases and higher nesting levels :-).
How about this instead?
aliases = apply_blacklist(aliases, blacklist);
+ if(flags & mit_resolve_alias) {
+ while(aliases) {
+ printf("%s\n", aliases->module);
+ aliases = aliases->next;
+ }
+ return 0;
+ }
It could be even shorter if you don't mind switching the while() loops
to for() loops as well.
