Description cdeardor@redhat.com 2023-07-17 18:52:07 UTC 
Add the capability to indent functions within bpftrace output.  This would be similar to flowindent in dtrace.  

Add a feature to bpftrace that would indent the entry to each function with “->”, and mark the return from this function with “<-“.

Thanks for suggesting this. As this feature is not present upstream, yet, could you also open it in the official bpftrace issue tracker?
