**bpftool btf dump** *BTF_SRC*
Dump BTF entries from a given *BTF_SRC*.
- When **id** is specified, BTF object with that ID will be
- loaded and all its BTF types emitted.
+ When **id** is specified, BTF object with that ID will be
+ loaded and all its BTF types emitted.
- When **map** is provided, it's expected that map has
- associated BTF object with BTF types describing key and
- value. It's possible to select whether to dump only BTF
- type(s) associated with key (**key**), value (**value**),
- both key and value (**kv**), or all BTF types present in
- associated BTF object (**all**). If not specified, **kv**
- is assumed.

- When **prog** is provided, it's expected that program has
- associated BTF object with BTF types.
+ When **prog** is provided, it's expected that program has
+ associated BTF object with BTF types.
- When specifying *FILE*, an ELF file is expected, containing
- .BTF section with well-defined BTF binary format data,
- typically produced by clang or pahole.
+ When specifying *FILE*, an ELF file is expected, containing
+ .BTF section with well-defined BTF binary format data,
+ typically produced by clang or pahole.
+
+ **format** option can be used to override default (raw)
+ output format. Raw (**raw**) or C-syntax (**c**) output
+ formats are supported.
