+| **bpftool** **perf help**
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+ **bpftool perf { show | list }**
+ List all raw_tracepoint, tracepoint, kprobe attachment in the system.
+
+ Output will start with process id and file descriptor in that process,
+ followed by bpf program id, attachment information, and attachment point.
+ The attachment point for raw_tracepoint/tracepoint is the trace probe name.
+ The attachment point for k[ret]probe is either symbol name and offset,
+ or a kernel virtual address.
+ The attachment point for u[ret]probe is the file name and the file offset.
+
+ **bpftool perf help**
+ Print short help message.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+ -h, --help
+ Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
+
+ -v, --version
+ Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).
+
+ -j, --json
+ Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this
+ option has no effect.
+
+ -p, --pretty
+ Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**.
