 		  Probe the running kernel and dump a number of eBPF-related
 		  parameters, such as availability of the **bpf()** system call,
 		  JIT status, eBPF program types availability, eBPF helper
 		  functions availability, and more.

+		  helpers which print warnings to kernel logs. To enable them
+		  and run all probes, the **full** keyword should be used.

 		  If the **macros** keyword (but not the **-j** option) is
 		  passed, a subset of the output is dumped as a list of
 		  **#define** macros that are ready to be included in a C

 		  Keyword **kernel** can be omitted. If no probe target is
 		  specified, probing the kernel is the default behaviour.
 
-		  Note that when probed, some eBPF helpers (e.g.
-		  **bpf_trace_printk**\ () or **bpf_probe_write_user**\ ()) may
-		  print warnings to kernel logs.

 		  Probe network device for supported eBPF features and dump

 		  Print short help message.
