Actually we can convert it to --progname and use it for providing the section
name of program to be loaded.

Would it be acceptable to print them from within libbpf? Something as trivial
as:
void
bpf_object__print_type_sections(struct bpf_object *obj,
				enum bpf_prog_type type)
{
	struct bpf_program *prog;

	bpf_object__for_each_program(prog, obj) {
		if (bpf_program__is_type(prog, type))
			pr_info("section %s\n", prog->section_name);
	}
}
Or do we want to add a accessor for section_name and go through programs in
application?
