Hi, thanks! Would be nice to get existing prog/attach types indeed.
Please can we avoid using a macro that unconditionally prints to stderr?
What will happen in your code below if any application uses
libbpf_set_print() to redefine pr_warning() and pr_info() is that only
the existing section names will be printed out, with no accompanying
message. Did you add pr_out() to avoid having the "libbpf: " prefix
printed in the middle of the list? If so, could we find something else
(e.g. alternative __pr() macro) and a way to replace that function by a
user-defined one (like libbpf_set_print() offers for the other ones)?
My main concern is to avoid breaking JSON output too much for bpftool.
Alternatively, would that make sense to have instead a function that
return a list of supported section names, and that could be called from
bpftool as a complement to the current error message? Just an idea.

Nit: unnecessary brackets.
