+Program Types and ELF Sections
+==============================
+
+The table below lists the program types, their attach types where relevant and the ELF section
+names supported by libbpf for them. The ELF section names follow these rules:
+
+- ``type`` is an exact match, e.g. ``SEC("socket")``
+- ``type+`` means it can be either exact ``SEC("type")`` or well-formed ``SEC("type/extras")``
+  with a '``/``' separator between ``type`` and ``extras``.
+
+When ``extras`` are specified, they provide details of how to auto-attach the BPF program.  The
+format of ``extras`` depends on the program type, e.g. ``SEC("tracepoint/<category>/<name>")``
+for tracepoints or ``SEC("usdt/<path>:<provider>:<name>")`` for USDT probes. The extras are
+described in more detail in the footnotes.
