 	**bpftool btf dump** *BTF_SRC*
 		  Dump BTF entries from a given *BTF_SRC*.
 
-                  When **id** is specified, BTF object with that ID will be
-                  loaded and all its BTF types emitted.

-                  When **map** is provided, it's expected that map has
-                  associated BTF object with BTF types describing key and
-                  value. It's possible to select whether to dump only BTF
-                  type(s) associated with key (**key**), value (**value**),
-                  both key and value (**kv**), or all BTF types present in
-                  associated BTF object (**all**). If not specified, **kv**
-                  is assumed.
