Missing cover letter. When sending more than one patch it's necessary.
Also the patch should have "vsh: " prefix so that it's obvious what part
of the ever growing source it's touching.

Nit pick, we tend to include system headers first and only after that
the local ones.

I know we discussed this in person, but now that I see this code and
think about it more I think this @size argument should be dropped from
this function and the corresponding check should be moved to [1]

1: here.

Too much pointers here. You are not allocating @maxwidths nor @widths.
They both can be one level less.

How about inverting these ifs and fors? I mean:

for () {
  if (toStdout)
    printCB()
  else
    virBufferAsprintf.
}

This suggestion applies to vshTablePrint too.

Why does this function require @ctl?
