Libcap is optional and bpftool does not use readline or ncurses. May I
ask how you tried to build it?

Well the purpose of this text is to help you find the way to call
bpftool to do what you want :). For dumping your programs' instructions,
you need to tell bpftool what program to dump: Bpftool isn't waiting
until you load a program to dump it, instead you need to load your
program first and then tell bpftool to retrieve the instructions from
the kernel. To reference your program you could use a pinned path, or
first list the programs on your system with "bpftool prog show":


    # bpftool prog show
    138: tracing  name foo  tag e54c922dfa54f65f  gpl
            loaded_at 2021-02-25T01:32:30+0000  uid 0
            xlated 256B  jited 154B  memlock 4096B  map_ids 64
            btf_id 235

Then you can use for example the program id displayed on the first line
to reference and dump your program:

    # bpftool prog dump jited id 138

You should find additional documentation under
tools/bpf/bpftool/Documentation.

I do not believe any of these are required to build bpftool.
