Hi,

Why do all of the examples have so many spaces between inode_no:
and the number?

Ah, it's a \t in the output along with the length of the "inode_no:"
string. OK.

Next question: why are there spaces instead of a tab between
"inode_no": and the number? All of the other fields that are
preceded by a \t in the seq_printf() call have tabs in the output.

Except for the tabs vs. spaces, the Documentation change is:
