+-h, --help
+ Print short help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
+
+-V, --version
+ Print bpftool's version number (similar to **bpftool version**), the
+ number of the libbpf version in use, and optional features that were
+ included when bpftool was compiled. Optional features include linking
+ against LLVM or libbfd to provide the disassembler for JIT-ted
+ programs (**bpftool prog dump jited**) and usage of BPF skeletons
+ (some features like **bpftool prog profile** or showing pids
+ associated to BPF objects may rely on it).
+
+-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**.
+
+-d, --debug
+ Print all logs available, even debug-level information. This includes
+ logs from libbpf as well as from the verifier, when attempting to
+ load programs.
