+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+tool for inspection of eBPF-related parameters for Linux kernel or net device
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+:Manual section: 8
+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+	**bpftool** [*OPTIONS*] **feature** *COMMAND*
+
+	*OPTIONS* := { { **-j** | **--json** } [{ **-p** | **--pretty** }] }
+
+	*COMMANDS* := { **probe** | **help** }
+
+MAP COMMANDS
+=============
+
+|	**bpftool** **feature probe** [**kernel**]
+|	**bpftool** **feature help**
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+	**bpftool feature probe** [**kernel**]
+		  Probe the running kernel and dump a number of eBPF-related
+		  parameters, such as availability of the **bpf()** system call.
+
+		  Keyword **kernel** can be omitted.
+
+	**bpftool feature 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**.
