 		  Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all
 		  maps under *MAP_DIR* directory.
 
+		  If **autoattach** is specified program will be attached
+		  before pin. In that case, only the link (representing the
+		  program attached to its hook) is pinned, not the program as
+		  such, so the path won't show in **bpftool prog show -f**,
+		  only show in **bpftool link show -f**. Also, this only works
+		  when bpftool (libbpf) is able to infer all necessary
+		  information from the object file, in particular, it's not
+		  supported for all program types. If a program does not
+		  support autoattach, bpftool falls back to regular pinning
+		  for that program instead.
+
 		  Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
 		  contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
 		  extensions of *bpffs*.
