 		  Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all
 		  maps under *MAP_DIR* directory.
 
+		  If **auto_attach** is specified program will be attached
+		  before pin. 1)in that case, only the link (representing the program
+		  attached to its hook) is pinned, not the program as such, so the
+		  path won't show in "bpftool prog show -f", only show in
+		  "bpftool link show -f", and 2)this only works when bpftool (libbpf)
+		  is able to infer all necessary information from the object file,
+		  in particular, it's not supported for all program types.
+
 		  Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
 		  contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
 		  extensions of *bpffs*.
