DESCRIPTION
===========
	**bpftool map { show | list }**   [*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.
