This page is the documentation for "bpftool prog" commands. You want
"bpftool map" (tools/bpf/bpftool/Documentation/bpftool-map.rst) instead.

You also need to update the description line for the "bpftool map
create" command further down in the bpftool-map.rst page. And could you
please add a sentence to that description to explain what the argument
is for?

No need to add completion here for "pinned", it is handled already [0].
