+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+ **bpftool map show** [*MAP*]
+ Show information about loaded maps. If *MAP* is specified
+ show information only about given map, otherwise list all
+ maps currently loaded on the system.
+
+ Output will start with map ID followed by map type and
+ zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
+
+ **bpftool map dump** *MAP*
+ Dump all entries in a given *MAP*.
+
+ **bpftool map update** *MAP* **key** *BYTES* **value** *VALUE* [*UPDATE_FLAGS*]
+ Update map entry for a given *KEY*.
+
+ *UPDATE_FLAGS* can be one of: **any** update existing entry
+ or add if doesn't exit; **exist** update only if entry already
+ exists; **noexist** update only if entry doesn't exist.
+
+ **bpftool map lookup** *MAP* **key** *BYTES*
+ Lookup **key** in the map.
+
+ **bpftool map getnext** *MAP* [**key** *BYTES*]
+ Get next key. If *key* is not specified, get first key.
+
+ **bpftool map delete** *MAP* **key** *BYTES*
+ Remove entry from the map.
+
+ **bpftool map pin** *MAP* *FILE*
+ Pin map *MAP* as *FILE*.
+
+ Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount.
+
+ **bpftool map help**
+ Print short help message.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+ -h, --help
+ Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
+
+ -v, --version
+ Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).
+
+ -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**.
+
+ -f, --bpffs
+ Show file names of pinned maps.
+
