+Note that map update can also be used in order to change the program references
+hold by a program array map. This can be used, for example, to change the
+programs used for tail-call jumps at runtime, without having to reload the
+entry-point program. Below is an example for this use case: we load a program
+defining a prog array map, and with a main function that contains a tail call
+to other programs that can be used either to "process" packets or to "debug"
+processing. Note that the prog array map MUST be pinned into the BPF virtual
+file system for the map update to work successfully, as kernel flushes prog
+array maps when they have no more references from user space (and the update
+would be lost as soon as bpftool exits).
