I think this one is fine since it matches
bpf_[map|prog]_get_fd_by_id()
and it's a wrapper.

this one makes sense indeed. Martin, thoughts?

the convention is that syscall wrappers like bpf_map_lookup_elem()
have single _ and map one-to-one to syscall commands.
Double _ is for objects. That's a coding style of perf.
Today btf, bpf_program, bpf_map, bpf_objects are objects.
libbpf_ is a prefix for auxiliary funcs.

We need to document it in a readme file.
