Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all
maps under *MAP_DIR* directory.

+ If **auto_attach** 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 objectfile, in particular, it's not supported for all
+ program types.
+
Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
extensions of *bpffs*.
