=======

+ -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.
