3-h, --help
4	  Print short help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
5
6-V, --version
7	  Print bpftool's version number (similar to **bpftool version**), the
8	  number of the libbpf version in use, and optional features that were
9	  included when bpftool was compiled. Optional features include linking
10	  against LLVM or libbfd to provide the disassembler for JIT-ted
11	  programs (**bpftool prog dump jited**) and usage of BPF skeletons
12	  (some features like **bpftool prog profile** or showing pids
13	  associated to BPF objects may rely on it).
14
15-j, --json
16	  Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this
17	  option has no effect.
18
19-p, --pretty
20	  Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**.
21
22-d, --debug
23	  Print all logs available, even debug-level information. This includes
24	  logs from libbpf as well as from the verifier, when attempting to
25	  load programs.
26
27-l, --legacy
28	  Use legacy libbpf mode which has more relaxed BPF program
29	  requirements. By default, bpftool has more strict requirements
30	  about section names, changes pinning logic and doesn't support
31	  some of the older non-BTF map declarations.

33	  See https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/wiki/Libbpf:-the-road-to-v1.0
34	  for details.
