 	**bpftool btf dump** *BTF_SRC*
 		  Dump BTF entries from a given *BTF_SRC*.
 
-                  When **id** is specified, BTF object with that ID will be
-                  loaded and all its BTF types emitted.

-                  When **map** is provided, it's expected that map has
-                  associated BTF object with BTF types describing key and
-                  value. It's possible to select whether to dump only BTF
