Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system
(such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary.
+ -L, --use-loader
+ Load program as a "loader" program. This is useful to debug
+ the generation of such programs. When this option is in
+ use, bpftool attempts to load the programs from the object
+ file into the kernel, but does not pin them (therefore, the
+ *PATH* must not be provided).
+
+ When combined with the **-d**\ \|\ **--debug** option,
+ additional debug messages are generated, and the execution
+ of the loader program will use the **bpf_trace_printk**\ ()
+ helper to log each step of loading BTF, creating the maps,
+ and loading the programs (see **bpftool prog tracelog** as
+ a way to dump those messages).
