Why so much space between "dump" and "BTF_SRC"? Is it to make it easier
to align it if other commands are added in the future? For now it looks
a bit strange in my opinion.

> +===========
> + **bpftool map dump** *MAP*
That's a lot of space again. I think you copied it from bpftool-map.rst.
But it looks like you forgot to replace "map dump MAP" with "btf dump
BTF_SRC" :).
A brief description of key/value/kv/all, or of what kind of FILE is
expected, would be welcome here.

"bpftool btf help"

> +OPTIONS
> +=======

This kind of info should go into the command's description (although I
don't mind if we also repeat it here).
