+| **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.

Output will start with program ID followed by program type and
zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
+ Since Linux 5.1 the kernel can collect statistics on BPF
+ programs (such as the total time spent running the program,
+ and the number of times it was run). If available, bpftool
+ shows such statistics. However, the kernel does not collect
+ them by defaults, as it slightly impacts performance on each
+ program run. Activation or deactivation of the feature is
+ performed via the **kernel.bpf_stats_enabled** sysctl knob.
