Good enhancement! Thank you! I like and recommend this enhanced version of the btrfs-show-super tool.

Goffredo, you are doing a very good and valuable job on improving the Btrfs tools. And you are one of the main contributors to btrfs-progs. Especially because of the huge amount of code that you are contributing, I would like to ask you to make your C source code formatting rules consistent with the rest of the Btrfs source code. In particular, I am talking about the way you use spaces. It is always the first thing that I notice, and quite often I just stop reading patches after noticing that the C source formatting is violating the rules. Just imagine that the Linux kernel would be written in hundreds of different C formatting styles. What a pain for the eyes this would be. Patches would contain 99% formatting changes. Source code would be almost unreadable. Therefore strict rules have been established how to format C code (including how to use spaces in the C code). The same rules should be applied to the btrfs-progs code. Please, please, please reconsider the way you place spaces when you submit Btrfs patches! See below. Don't feel offended, just place the spaces correctly, please! Your work is good, just the way you place spaces is not good :)

The Linux kernel sources contain docs and tools for the formatting issue:
- Documentation/CodingStyle describes the C source code formatting rules that are expected in the Linux world. - scripts/checkpatch.pl can detect lots of violations to these formatting rules.
