would like to see fsck display the inode numbers in both dec and hex

The zfile ls –ali entry responds with the inode directory # for each directory & file and it is given in decimal format. However, to do a zdrec linode.n, you want ordinal number in hex. In contrast, results from a zfile fsck run displays the hex values for ordinal numbers of inodes with errors. I'd like to see zfile ls –ali display both hex and decimal ordinal values.
