APIs descriptions should describe the purpose of the
function, its parameters and return value. While working
on man pages implementation, I noticed mismatches in the
descriptions of few APIs. This patch changes the description
of these APIs, making them consistent with the man pages:
tep_print_num_field(), tep_print_func_field(),
tep_get_header_page_size(), tep_get_long_size(),
tep_set_long_size(), tep_get_page_size() and
tep_set_page_size().

BTW, you can have your descriptions be up to 76 characters in length.

This follows kernel doc, which states that the above line must not be
more than one line. That's for the description below. Convert this to;

 /**
  * tep_get_long_size - get the size of a long integer on the traced machine

Actually, it looks like it returns the length written on success.

This too.

I applied the rest of this series except for this patch. If you want,
you can fix this patch up and resend it as a stand along (but label it
as v4).

Thanks!

And this actually changed by your update to trace_seq_printf() in patch
11.

Luckily, it appears that the only use cases just check for the -1. :-)
