Seems reasonable to me as specified, but see below. > Also, on the question of "parseable" pfiles output, I like the idea, but > I think the answer is "not this case".

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. -- Darren J Moffat
