+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+	**bpftool iter pin** *OBJ* *PATH* [**map** *MAP*]
+		  A bpf iterator combines a kernel iterating of
+		  particular kernel data (e.g., tasks, bpf_maps, etc.)
+		  and a bpf program called for each kernel data object
+		  (e.g., one task, one bpf_map, etc.). User space can
+		  *read* kernel iterator output through *read()* syscall.
+
+		  The *pin* command creates a bpf iterator from *OBJ*,
+		  and pin it to *PATH*. The *PATH* should be located
+		  in *bpffs* mount. It must not contain a dot
+		  character ('.'), which is reserved for future extensions
+		  of *bpffs*.
+
+		  Map element bpf iterator requires an additional parameter
+		  *MAP* so bpf program can iterate over map elements for
+		  that map. User can have a bpf program in kernel to run
+		  with each map element, do checking, filtering, aggregation,
+		  etc. without copying data to user space.
+
+		  User can then *cat PATH* to see the bpf iterator output.
+
+	**bpftool iter help**
+		  Print short help message.
