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.
+ By default, bpftool does not run probes for

If the **macros** keyword (but not the **-j** option) is
passed, a subset of the output is dumped as a list of
