Seems reasonable to me as specified, but see below.

Agreed not this case, but I think the proposal of putting
offset: after the file name does actually make it harder
to parse the existing output of pfiles(1), since today you
can assume that the filename is on a line of its own.

All the other non filename fields in the pfiles(1) output
are on a different line to the filename.  So I'd highly recommend
that offset go on the same line as mode: or on its own line.
If that is done then an offset of 0 should be printed for
things that are seekable.
