Is the '\t' as a default indentation filler a requirement? With 8
spaces per tab this gets wide really fast. 2 or 4 spaces might be a
better default? And it probably would be good to let users specify
this as a string (e.g., "indent_str"), which could be anything the
user wants, from empty string to multiple tabs to "..." to whatever
else. If I needed to dump something with this API, I'd probably use 2
spaces, for instance. But I can see how other users might want
something else, so making this customizable seems like a good thing?

I'll do another pass next week, I ran out of time, it's a bit of a big
patch, sorry. But left few comments, please take a look.

please add size_t: 0; as the last member to avoid various issues with
non-zero padding. We've been doing it for a few not perfectly aligned
opts recently and that seems to work good in practice.

can't get over data vs byte_sz naming inconsistency.... why not data
and data_sz?

also, const void *data?

given it's not always used, should this be allocated lazily only if necessary?

Sorry, I didn't get from your cover letter why
btf_dump__emit_type_decl() doesn't do what you need it to do. Can you
please elaborate with a simple example?

hm... why skipping func_proto? seems useful when printing all kinds of
opts struct?

".field = " part is not really a type name, can't it be done outside?

BTF_INT_OFFSET() is long deprecated, pahole doesn't generate such
INTs, many versions of Clang don't generate such int, so I don't think
we should bother supporting it.

can't really happen in well-formed BTF, I don't think libbpf ever
checks this for NULL

this can actually fail and return -Exxx, so I'd check <= 0 case here,
otherwise it might get confusing later

bits_offset / 8...

and considering you have a whole dedicated BITS_PER_BYTE (btw, why?..
are we expecting it to ever change?), it's surprising to see bit
shifts instead of division

don't check, if anything btf_dump_type_data_check_overflow() already

in a lot of other places in libbpf we use more succinct names and this pattern

n = btf_vlen(t);
m = btf_members(t);
for (i = 0; i < n; i++, m++) {

it's nice, short, and familiar in libbpf code base

public APIs should use libbpf_err() to ensure errno is set properly,
see my recent patch set. This should be

return libbpf_err(-ENOENT);

hm.. why can't btf_dump_dump_type_data() return the consumed amount of bytes?
