kldstat(1) outputs something like $ kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 16 0xffffffff80200000 1fa7c38 kernel 2 1 0xffffffff82221000 3710 ums.ko 3 1 0xffffffff82225000 1fe5a3 zfs.ko 4 1 0xffffffff82424000 811f opensolaris.ko 5 1 0xffffffff8242d000 10582 geom_eli.ko I can not see the advantage of the "Size" column being aligned to the left, but maybe I am missing something. As the code shows, the minus in the "%-8zx" modifier seems to have been entered on some purpose. However, I would think of an output like this to be more useful: $ ./kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 16 0xffffffff80200000 1fa7c38 kernel 2 1 0xffffffff82221000 3710 ums.ko 3 1 0xffffffff82225000 1fe5a3 zfs.ko 4 1 0xffffffff82424000 811f opensolaris.ko 5 1 0xffffffff8242d000 10582 geom_eli.ko If this makes sense to you, please profit from the following simple patch. If not, I am sorry for the noise, and would be grateful for an explanation why left-aligned is more helpful to the user.

It seems like this was already committed some time ago (before r294624).
I lied. I inverted the patch in my head.
