Keyword **kernel** can be omitted. If no probe target is
specified, probing the kernel is the default behaviour.
+ When the **unprivileged** keyword is used, bpftool will dump
+ only the features available to a user who does not have the
+ **CAP_SYS_ADMIN** capability set. The features available in
+ that case usually represent a small subset of the parameters
+ supported by the system. Unprivileged users MUST use the
+ **unprivileged** keyword: This is to avoid misdetection if
+ bpftool is inadvertently run as non-root, for example. This
+ keyword is unavailable if bpftool was compiled without
+ libcap.

**bpftool feature probe dev** *NAME* [**full**] [**macros** [**prefix** *PREFIX*]]
Probe network device for supported eBPF features and dump
results to the console.
