Not really, just my preference :)

In my experience having the return type on a separate line if its
longer than a few chars is the simplest rule for consistent and good
looking code.

I wonder.  Letting it just print C is going to confuse anything that
just feeds the output into a JSON parser.  I'd err on the side of
returning an error, we can always relax that later if we find a use
case of returning C syntax via JSON.

Oh, I was just remarking that before your patch bpftool would not error
if garbage options were passed, it'd be better if we errored from the
start.  But too late now, your code is good 👍

Yeah, we weren't 100% enforcing this rule and it's a bit messy now :/
