**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.

**format** option can be used to override default (raw)
output format. Raw (**raw**) or C-syntax (**c**) output
formats are supported.
**bpftool btf help**
