+You can access the data fields of a data structure using allow operator ``->``
+(for pointer type) and dot operator ``.`` (for data structure type.)::
+
+# echo 't sched_switch preempt prev_pid=prev->pid next_pid=next->pid' >> dynamic_events
+
+This data field access is available for the return value, for this purpose
+``retval`` special variable name needs to be used. e.g. ``retval->name``.
+
+For these BTF arguments and fields, ``:string`` and ``:ustring`` change the
+behavior. If these are used for BTF argument or field, it checks whether
+the BTF type of the argument or the data field is ``char *`` or ``char []``,
+or not.  If not, it rejects applying the string types. Also, with the BTF
+support, you don't need a memory dereference operator (``+0(PTR)``) for
+accessing the string pointed by a ``PTR``. It automatically adds the memory
+dereference operator according to the BTF type. e.g. ::
+
+# echo 't sched_switch prev->comm:string' >> dynamic_events
+# echo 'f getname_flags%return retval->name:string' >> dynamic_events
+
+The ``prev->comm`` is an embedded char array in the data structure, and
+``retval->name`` is a char pointer in the data structure. But in both
+cases, you can use ``:string`` type to get the string.
