36 bpftool allows for inspection and simple modification of BPF objects
37 on the system.

39 Note that format of the output of all tools is not guaranteed to be
40 stable and should not be depended upon.
41
43 -h, --help
44 Print short help message (similar to bpftool help).
45
46 -V, --version
47 Print version number (similar to bpftool version), and
48 optional features that were included when bpftool was com‐
49 piled. Optional features include linking against libbfd to
50 provide the disassembler for JIT-ted programs (bpftool prog
51 dump jited) and usage of BPF skeletons (some features like
52 bpftool prog profile or showing pids associated to BPF
53 objects may rely on it).
54
55 -j, --json
56 Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON,
57 this option has no effect.
58
59 -p, --pretty
60 Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies -j.
61
62 -d, --debug
63 Print all logs available, even debug-level information. This
64 includes logs from libbpf as well as from the verifier, when
65 attempting to load programs.
66
67 -m, --mapcompat
68 Allow loading maps with unknown map definitions.
69
70 -n, --nomount
71 Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system
72 (such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary.
