Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 6/7] tools: bpftool: document and add bash completion for -L, -B options
The -L|--use-loader option for using loader programs when loading, or
when generating a skeleton, did not have any documentation or bash
completion. Same thing goes for -B|--base-btf, used to pass a path to a
base BTF object for split BTF such as BTF for kernel modules.
This patch documents and adds bash completion for those options.
Fixes: 75fa1777694c ("tools/bpftool: Add bpftool support for split BTF")
Fixes: d510296d331a ("bpftool: Use syscall/loader program in "prog load" and "gen skeleton" command.")

+ -B, --base-btf *FILE*
+ Pass a base BTF object. Base BTF objects are typically used
+ with BTF objects for kernel modules. To avoid duplicating
+ all kernel symbols required by modules, BTF objects for
+ modules are "split", they are built incrementally on top of
+ the kernel (vmlinux) BTF object. So the base BTF reference
+ should usually point to the kernel BTF.
+
+ When the main BTF object to process (for example, the
+ module BTF to dump) is passed as a *FILE*, bpftool attempts
+ to autodetect the path for the base object, and passing
+ this option is optional. When the main BTF object is passed
+ through other handles, this option becomes necessary.

+ Load program as a "loader" program. This is useful to debug
+ the generation of such programs. When this option is in
+ use, bpftool attempts to load the programs from the object
