+-h, --help
+ Print short help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
+
+-V, --version
+ Print bpftool's version number (similar to **bpftool version**), the number
+ of the libbpf version in use, and optional features that were included when
+ bpftool was compiled. Optional features include linking against LLVM or
+ libbfd to provide the disassembler for JIT-ted programs (**bpftool prog
+ dump jited**) and usage of BPF skeletons (some features like **bpftool prog
+ profile** or showing pids associated to BPF objects may rely on it).
+
+-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**.
+
+-d, --debug
+ Print all logs available, even debug-level information. This includes logs
+ from libbpf as well as from the verifier, when attempting to load programs.
