40 bpftool allows for inspection and simple modification of BPF objects
41 on the system.

43 Note that format of the output of all tools is not guaranteed to be
44 stable and should not be depended upon.
45
47 -h, --help
48 Print short help message (similar to bpftool help).
49
50 -V, --version
51 Print version number (similar to bpftool version), and op‐
52 tional features that were included when bpftool was compiled.
53 Optional features include linking against libbfd to provide
54 the disassembler for JIT-ted programs (bpftool prog dump
55 jited) and usage of BPF skeletons (some features like bpftool
56 prog profile or showing pids associated to BPF objects may
57 rely on it).
58
59 -j, --json
60 Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON,
61 this option has no effect.
62
63 -p, --pretty
64 Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies -j.
65
66 -d, --debug
67 Print all logs available, even debug-level information. This
68 includes logs from libbpf as well as from the verifier, when
69 attempting to load programs.
70
71 -m, --mapcompat
72 Allow loading maps with unknown map definitions.
73
74 -n, --nomount
75 Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system
76 (such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary.
