Double checked cmd_select() handling the return value:
   0 : success
   non-0 : failure

Looking like I can remove two `err = -1` below.

You probably means do_pin_fd()? That is a good suggestion, will use it
in the next revision.

This is a good question, I should have clarified better in the commit
message.
   - prog load && prog attach won't work.
     the create_iter is a three stage process:
       1. prog load
       2. create and attach to a link
       3. pin link
     In the current implementation, the link merely just has the program.
     But in the future, the link will have other parameters like map_id,
     tgid/gid, or cgroup_id, or others.

     We could say to do:
       1. bpftool prog load <pin_path>
       2. bpftool iter pin prog file
          <maybe more parameters in the future>

     But this requires to pin the program itself in the bpffs, which
     mostly unneeded for file iterator creator.

     So this command `bpftool iter pin ...` is created for ease of use.

So far, yes, in the future we may have more. In my RFC patcch, I have
`bpftool iter show ...` for introspection, this is to show all 
registered targets and all file iterators prog_id's.

This patch does not have it and I left it for the future work.
I am considering to use bpf iterator to do introspection here...

Yes, we do plan to have map element iterators. We can also have
bpf_prog or other iterators. Yes, map element iterator use 
implementation should be `bpftool map` code base since it is
a use of bpf_iter infrastructure.

`bpftool prog attach <prog> [map_id]` mostly used to attach a program to
a map, right? In this case, it won't apply, right?

BTW, Thanks for reviewing and catching my mistakes!
