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

32	  See https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/wiki/Libbpf:-the-road-to-v1.0
