	Something along the lines of the following, perhaps (assuming
	ISO C99):

   {
     int only_with_blocks_p
       = 0;
     ext2_inode_scan scan;

     {
       errcode_t r
         = ext2fs_open_inode_scan (e2, 0, &scan);
       assert (r == 0);
     }

     FILE *out
       = stdout;
     errcode_t r;
     ext2_ino_t ino;
     struct ext2_inode inode;
     int column;

     /* FIXME: handle EXT2_ET_BAD_BLOCK_IN_INODE_TABLE, too */
     while (((r = ext2fs_get_next_inode (scan, &ino, &inode)) == 0)
            && ino != 0) {
       if (! only_with_blocks_p
           || ext2fs_inode_has_valid_blocks (inode)) {
         /* skip over the inodes lacking valid blocks, if requested */
	 continue;
       }

       int n
         = fprintf (out, " <%d>");
       assert (n >= 0);
       column += n;
       /* NB: assuming that a typical inode number will be less than 9
              decimal digits long, and that the terminal has 80 columns
              */
       if (column >= 80 - 12) {
         fputc ('\n', out);
       }
     }
     /* FIXME: handle EXT2_ET_BAD_BLOCK_IN_INODE_TABLE, too */
     assert (r == 0);
   }

	Or should I develop a proper patch?
