 		  Output will start with program ID followed by program type and
 		  zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
 
-	**bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG*  **file** *FILE*
-		  Dump eBPF instructions of the program from the kernel to a
-		  file.
+	**bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG* [**file** *FILE*] [**opcodes**]
+		  Dump eBPF instructions of the program from the kernel.
+		  If *FILE* is specified image will be written to a file,
+		  otherwise it will be disassembled and printed to stdout.
+
+		  **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed.
 
 	**bpftool prog dump jited**  *PROG* [**file** *FILE*] [**opcodes**]
 		  Dump jited image (host machine code) of the program.
