This latest version of the patchset uses an inline table that is
formatted by hand. The section name extras are documented in footnotes
with cross references from within the table.
v5 -> v6:
- Mention non-negative offset for kprobe, suggested by David Vernet
- Include this version history that was missing in v5
v4 -> v5:
- Use inline grid table format and add footnotes for section name extras
- Drop the generator script and makefile changes from the patchset
v3 -> v4:
- Fix typo reported by Jesper Brouer
- Move the generator from the Makefile to a separate script
v2 -> v3:
- Put program_types after API docs in TOC as suggested by Andrii Nakryiko
- Fix formatting as reported by Andrii Nakryiko
- Include USDT extras example as suggested by Andrii Nakryiko
- Include sample of program_types.csv as suggested by Andrii Nakryiko
v1 -> v2:
- Automate the generation of program_types.csv as suggested by
- Andrii Nakryiko.

+Program Types and ELF Sections
+==============================
+
+The table below lists the program types, their attach types where relevant and the ELF section
+names supported by libbpf for them. The ELF section names follow these rules:
+
+- ``type`` is an exact match, e.g. ``SEC("socket")``
+- ``type+`` means it can be either exact ``SEC("type")`` or well-formed ``SEC("type/extras")``
+ with a '``/``' separator between ``type`` and ``extras``.
+
+When ``extras`` are specified, they provide details of how to auto-attach the BPF program. The
+format of ``extras`` depends on the program type, e.g. ``SEC("tracepoint/<category>/<name>")``
+for tracepoints or ``SEC("usdt/<path>:<provider>:<name>")`` for USDT probes. The extras are
+described in more detail in the footnotes.
+
