I agree with you; however, this is in the example code in the

So we tell people to write bad code? Wonderful..
And while we're at it can we please stop the dumb idea to put example
code into Documentation? If example code doesn't get build during a
make oldconfig it will bitrot real fast and not be useful at all.
That's why they exmaples should not be hidden/embedded in .txt files;
they should be standalone .c files with makefiles etc.
I've built and corrected several of them, but they would be more
likely to be kept up-to-date if they are more available in standalone
files.
and they can be taken out of Documentation/ whenever they go into
util-linux-ng or elsewhere. Let's get the order correct.

IMHO keeping example code as standalone files under Documentation/* make
it easy to build an play with. I like it better than keeping it on some
project website where it is even less likely to maintained.
