+================
+bpftool-btf
+================
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+tool for inspection of BTF data
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+:Manual section: 8
+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+ **bpftool** [*OPTIONS*] **btf** *COMMAND*
+
+ *OPTIONS* := { { **-j** | **--json** } [{ **-p** | **--pretty** }] }
+
+ *COMMANDS* :=
+ { **dump** | **help** }
Commands fit on a single line.
+
+MAP COMMANDS
+=============
+
+| **bpftool** **btf dump** *BTF_SRC*
Why so much space between "dump" and "BTF_SRC"? Is it to make it easier
to align it if other commands are added in the future? For now it looks
a bit strange in my opinion.
+| **bpftool** **btf help**
+|
+| *BTF_SRC* := { **id** *BTF_ID* | **prog** *PROG* | **map** *MAP* [{**key** | **value** | **kv** | **all**}] | **file** *FILE* }
+| *MAP* := { **id** *MAP_ID* | **pinned** *FILE* }
+| *PROG* := { **id** *PROG_ID* | **pinned** *FILE* | **tag** *PROG_TAG* }
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+ **bpftool map dump** *MAP*
That's a lot of space again. I think you copied it from bpftool-map.rst.
But it looks like you forgot to replace "map dump MAP" with "btf dump
BTF_SRC" :).
A brief description of key/value/kv/all, or of what kind of FILE is
expected, would be welcome here.
+ Dump BTF entries from a given *BTF_SRC*.
+
+ **bpftool map help**
"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**
+::
+
+ [1] PTR '(anon)' type_id=2

+ [4] PTR '(anon)' type_id=5
+ [5] FWD 'sock' fwd_kind=union
+
+This gives an example of default output for all supported BTF kinds.

+The following commands print BTF types associated with specified map's key,
+value, both key and value, and all BTF types, respectively. By default, both
+key and value types will be printed.
This kind of info should go into the command's description (although I
don't mind if we also repeat it here).
