+-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 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.
+
+-l, --legacy
+ Use legacy libbpf mode which has more relaxed BPF program
+ requirements. By default, bpftool has more strict requirements
+ about section names, changes pinning logic and doesn't support
+ some of the older non-BTF map declarations.
+
+ See https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/wiki/Libbpf:-the-road-to-v1.0
+ for details.
