Nice!  Right above the example, I’d suggest adding a sentence like “The
example below lists…” (what does it list actually? :-)).

In the default format, I wonder if we could already change split
‘ChildProcess’ into ‘ChildPID’ and ‘ChildCommand’, as you had initially
proposed on IRC; would that work?

> +(define (lock->record lock port)
> +  (format port "LockHeld: ~a~%" lock))

Maybe ‘lock->recutils’ for consistency and to avoid confusion with
Scheme “records”?

> +(define (format-single-record port)

Maybe ‘daemon-sessions->recutils’?  Should ‘sessions’ be a parameter for
clarity?

> +  (for-each (lambda (session)
> +              (daemon-session->recutils session port)

                  ^
Indentation is off.

> +  "Display PROCESS record on PORT in normalized form"

Please add a docstring.  Perhaps make ‘sessions’ a parameter?

> +  (define sessions (daemon-sessions))
> +
> +  (format port session-rec-type)

As reported by ‘-Wformat’, passing a non-literal format string is risky;
write this instead:

  (display session-rec-type port)

> +  (newline port)
> +  (newline port)
> +  (for-each
> +   (lambda (session)

Preferable indent ‘for-each’ like so:

  (for-each (lambda (session)

Likewise below.

> +  (display (G_ "
> +  --normalize            display results as normalized record sets"))

Should it be ‘--format=normalized’ (just like we have ‘--format’ in
‘guix describe’, for instance)?

Could you send an updated patch?

Thanks!

Ludo’.
