From a7f742069ec5f1a51d0c9cfc238954553e2ffe8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Damien Le Moal Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:47:29 +0900 Subject: blkzone: Improve zone information print Add "0x" to the zone start, length and write pointer print to make it always clear that the values are Hexadecimal. Also update the zone condition string and associated comments to match more closely the wording in the standard document. The man page is also updated to match the new wording.
