+ * specified BPF program
+ *
+ * Returned pointer is always valid and not NULL. Number of `struct bpf_insn`
+ * pointed to can be fetched using **bpf_program__insn_cnt()** API.
+ *
+ * Keep in mind, libbpf can modify and append/delete BPF program's
+ * instructions as it processes BPF object file and prepares everything for
+ * uploading into the kernel. So depending on the point in BPF object
+ * lifetime, **bpf_program__insns()** can return different sets of
+ * instructions. As an example, during BPF object load phase BPF program
+ * instructions will be CO-RE-relocated, BPF subprograms instructions will be
+ * appended, ldimm64 instructions will have FDs embedded, etc. So instructions
+ * returned before **bpf_object__load()** and after it might be quite
+ * different.
