Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all
maps under *MAP_DIR* directory.
+ If **auto_attach** is specified program will be attached
+ before pin. 1)in that case, only the link (representing the program
+ attached to its hook) is pinned, not the program as such, so the
+ path won't show in "bpftool prog show -f", only show in
+ "bpftool link show -f", and 2)this only works when bpftool (libbpf)
+ is able to infer all necessary information from the object file,
+ in particular, it's not supported for all program types.

Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
extensions of *bpffs*.
