+BTF COMMANDS
+=============
+
+|	**bpftool** **btf dump** *BTF_SRC*
+|	**bpftool** **btf help**
+|
+|	*BTF_SRC* := { **id** *BTF_ID* | **prog** *PROG* | **map** *MAP* [{**key** | **value** | **kv** | **all**}] | **file** *FILE* }

+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+	**bpftool btf dump** *BTF_SRC*
+		  Dump BTF entries from a given *BTF_SRC*.
+
+                  When **id** is specified, BTF object with that ID will be
+                  loaded and all its BTF types emitted.
+
+                  When **map** is provided, it's expected that map has
+                  associated BTF object with BTF types describing key and
+                  value. It's possible to select whether to dump only BTF
+                  type(s) associated with key (**key**), value (**value**),
+                  both key and value (**kv**), or all BTF types present in
+                  associated BTF object (**all**). If not specified, **kv**
+                  is assumed.
+
+                  When **prog** is provided, it's expected that program has
+                  associated BTF object with BTF types.
+
+                  When specifying *FILE*, an ELF file is expected, containing
+                  .BTF section with well-defined BTF binary format data,
+                  typically produced by clang or pahole.
+
+	**bpftool btf help**
+		  Print short help message.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+	-h, --help
+		  Print short generic 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**.
+
+EXAMPLES
+========
+**# bpftool btf dump id 1226**

+  [4] PTR '(anon)' type_id=5
+  [5] FWD 'sock' fwd_kind=union
+
+This gives an example of default output for all supported BTF kinds.

+The following commands print BTF types associated with specified map's key,
+value, both key and value, and all BTF types, respectively. By default, both
+key and value types will be printed.

+

+
+  [39] TYPEDEF 'u32' type_id=37
+
+**# bpftool btf dump map id 123 value**

+
+**# bpftool btf dump map id 123 kv**
+
+::
+
+  [39] TYPEDEF 'u32' type_id=37
+  [86] PTR '(anon)' type_id=87
+
+**# bpftool btf dump map id 123 all**
+
+::

+  [1] PTR '(anon)' type_id=0
+  .
+  .
+  .
+  [2866] ARRAY '(anon)' type_id=52 index_type_id=51 nr_elems=4
+
+All the standard ways to specify map or program are supported:
+
+**# bpftool btf dump map id 123**
+
+**# bpftool btf dump map pinned /sys/fs/bpf/map_name**
+
+**# bpftool btf dump prog id 456**

+**# bpftool btf dump prog tag b88e0a09b1d9759d**
+
+**# bpftool btf dump prog pinned /sys/fs/bpf/prog_name**
