+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+ *bpftool* allows for inspection and simple modification of BPF objects
+ on the system.
+
+ Note that format of the output of all tools is not guaranteed to be
+ stable and should not be depended upon.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+ -h, --help
+ Print short help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
+
+ -v, --version
+ Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).
+
+ -j, --json
+ Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this
+ option has no effect.
+
+ -p, --pretty
+ Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**.
