OPTIONS
=======
- .. include:: common_options.rst
-
- -B, --base-btf *FILE*
- Pass a base BTF object. Base BTF objects are typically used
- with BTF objects for kernel modules. To avoid duplicating
- all kernel symbols required by modules, BTF objects for
- modules are "split", they are built incrementally on top of
- the kernel (vmlinux) BTF object. So the base BTF reference
- should usually point to the kernel BTF.
-
- When the main BTF object to process (for example, the
- module BTF to dump) is passed as a *FILE*, bpftool attempts
- to autodetect the path for the base object, and passing
- this option is optional. When the main BTF object is passed
- through other handles, this option becomes necessary.

- attached programs. If *CGROUP_ROOT* is not specified,
- bpftool uses cgroup v2 mountpoint.
-
- The output is similar to the output of cgroup show/list
- commands: it starts with absolute cgroup path, followed by
- program ID, attach type, attach flags and program name.
-

DESCRIPTION
===========
- **bpftool feature probe** [**kernel**] [**full**] [**macros** [**prefix** *PREFIX*]]
- Probe the running kernel and dump a number of eBPF-related
- parameters, such as availability of the **bpf**\ () system call,
- JIT status, eBPF program types availability, eBPF helper
- functions availability, and more.
-
- By default, bpftool **does not run probes** for
- **bpf_probe_write_user**\ () and **bpf_trace_printk**\()
- helpers which print warnings to kernel logs. To enable them
- and run all probes, the **full** keyword should be used.
-
- If the **macros** keyword (but not the **-j** option) is
- passed, a subset of the output is dumped as a list of
- **#define** macros that are ready to be included in a C
- header file, for example. If, additionally, **prefix** is
- used to define a *PREFIX*, the provided string will be used
- as a prefix to the names of the macros: this can be used to
- avoid conflicts on macro names when including the output of
- this command as a header file.
-
- Keyword **kernel** can be omitted. If no probe target is
- specified, probing the kernel is the default behaviour.
-
- When the **unprivileged** keyword is used, bpftool will dump
- only the features available to a user who does not have the
- **CAP_SYS_ADMIN** capability set. The features available in
- that case usually represent a small subset of the parameters
- supported by the system. Unprivileged users MUST use the
- **unprivileged** keyword: This is to avoid misdetection if
- bpftool is inadvertently run as non-root, for example. This
- keyword is unavailable if bpftool was compiled without
- libcap.
-
- **bpftool feature probe dev** *NAME* [**full**] [**macros** [**prefix** *PREFIX*]]
- Probe network device for supported eBPF features and dump
- results to the console.
-
- The keywords **full**, **macros** and **prefix** have the
- same role as when probing the kernel.
-
- **bpftool feature list_builtins** *GROUP*
- List items known to bpftool. These can be BPF program types
- (**prog_types**), BPF map types (**map_types**), attach types
- (**attach_types**), link types (**link_types**), or BPF helper
- functions (**helpers**). The command does not probe the system, but
- simply lists the elements that bpftool knows from compilation time,

+**bpftool feature probe** [**kernel**] [**full**] [**macros** [**prefix** *PREFIX*]]
+ Probe the running kernel and dump a number of eBPF-related parameters, such
+ as availability of the **bpf**\ () system call, JIT status, eBPF program
+ types availability, eBPF helper functions availability, and more.
+
+ By default, bpftool **does not run probes** for **bpf_probe_write_user**\
+ () and **bpf_trace_printk**\() helpers which print warnings to kernel logs.
+ To enable them and run all probes, the **full** keyword should be used.
+
+ If the **macros** keyword (but not the **-j** option) is passed, a subset
+ of the output is dumped as a list of **#define** macros that are ready to
+ be included in a C header file, for example. If, additionally, **prefix**
+ is used to define a *PREFIX*, the provided string will be used as a prefix
+ to the names of the macros: this can be used to avoid conflicts on macro
+ names when including the output of this command as a header file.
+
+ Keyword **kernel** can be omitted. If no probe target is specified, probing
+ the kernel is the default behaviour.
+
+ When the **unprivileged** keyword is used, bpftool will dump only the
+ features available to a user who does not have the **CAP_SYS_ADMIN**
+ capability set. The features available in that case usually represent a
+ small subset of the parameters supported by the system. Unprivileged users
+ MUST use the **unprivileged** keyword: This is to avoid misdetection if
+ bpftool is inadvertently run as non-root, for example. This keyword is
+ unavailable if bpftool was compiled without libcap.
+
+**bpftool feature probe dev** *NAME* [**full**] [**macros** [**prefix** *PREFIX*]]

+ console.
+
+ The keywords **full**, **macros** and **prefix** have the same role as when
+ probing the kernel.

DESCRIPTION
===========
- **bpftool gen object** *OUTPUT_FILE* *INPUT_FILE* [*INPUT_FILE*...]
- Statically link (combine) together one or more *INPUT_FILE*'s
- into a single resulting *OUTPUT_FILE*. All the files involved
- are BPF ELF object files.
-
- The rules of BPF static linking are mostly the same as for
- user-space object files, but in addition to combining data
- and instruction sections, .BTF and .BTF.ext (if present in
- any of the input files) data are combined together. .BTF
- data is deduplicated, so all the common types across
- *INPUT_FILE*'s will only be represented once in the resulting
- BTF information.
-
- BPF static linking allows to partition BPF source code into
- individually compiled files that are then linked into
- a single resulting BPF object file, which can be used to
- generated BPF skeleton (with **gen skeleton** command) or
- passed directly into **libbpf** (using **bpf_object__open()**
- family of APIs).
-
- **bpftool gen skeleton** *FILE*
- Generate BPF skeleton C header file for a given *FILE*.
-
- BPF skeleton is an alternative interface to existing libbpf
- APIs for working with BPF objects. Skeleton code is intended
- to significantly shorten and simplify code to load and work
- with BPF programs from userspace side. Generated code is
- tailored to specific input BPF object *FILE*, reflecting its
- structure by listing out available maps, program, variables,
- etc. Skeleton eliminates the need to lookup mentioned
- components by name. Instead, if skeleton instantiation
- succeeds, they are populated in skeleton structure as valid
- libbpf types (e.g., **struct bpf_map** pointer) and can be
- passed to existing generic libbpf APIs.
-
- In addition to simple and reliable access to maps and
- programs, skeleton provides a storage for BPF links (**struct
- bpf_link**) for each BPF program within BPF object. When
- requested, supported BPF programs will be automatically
- attached and resulting BPF links stored for further use by
- user in pre-allocated fields in skeleton struct. For BPF
- programs that can't be automatically attached by libbpf,
- user can attach them manually, but store resulting BPF link
- in per-program link field. All such set up links will be
- automatically destroyed on BPF skeleton destruction. This
- eliminates the need for users to manage links manually and
- rely on libbpf support to detach programs and free up
- resources.
-
- Another facility provided by BPF skeleton is an interface to
- global variables of all supported kinds: mutable, read-only,
- as well as extern ones. This interface allows to pre-setup
- initial values of variables before BPF object is loaded and
- verified by kernel. For non-read-only variables, the same
- interface can be used to fetch values of global variables on
- userspace side, even if they are modified by BPF code.
-
- During skeleton generation, contents of source BPF object
- *FILE* is embedded within generated code and is thus not
- necessary to keep around. This ensures skeleton and BPF
- object file are matching 1-to-1 and always stay in sync.
- Generated code is dual-licensed under LGPL-2.1 and
- BSD-2-Clause licenses.
-
- It is a design goal and guarantee that skeleton interfaces
- are interoperable with generic libbpf APIs. User should
- always be able to use skeleton API to create and load BPF
- object, and later use libbpf APIs to keep working with
- specific maps, programs, etc.
-
- As part of skeleton, few custom functions are generated.
- Each of them is prefixed with object name. Object name can
- either be derived from object file name, i.e., if BPF object
- file name is **example.o**, BPF object name will be
- **example**. Object name can be also specified explicitly
- through **name** *OBJECT_NAME* parameter. The following
- custom functions are provided (assuming **example** as
- the object name):
-
- - **example__open** and **example__open_opts**.
- These functions are used to instantiate skeleton. It
- corresponds to libbpf's **bpf_object__open**\ () API.
- **_opts** variants accepts extra **bpf_object_open_opts**
- options.
-
- - **example__load**.
- This function creates maps, loads and verifies BPF
- programs, initializes global data maps. It corresponds to
- libppf's **bpf_object__load**\ () API.
-
- - **example__open_and_load** combines **example__open** and
- **example__load** invocations in one commonly used
- operation.
-
- - **example__attach** and **example__detach**
- This pair of functions allow to attach and detach,
- correspondingly, already loaded BPF object. Only BPF
- programs of types supported by libbpf for auto-attachment
- will be auto-attached and their corresponding BPF links
- instantiated. For other BPF programs, user can manually
- create a BPF link and assign it to corresponding fields in
- skeleton struct. **example__detach** will detach both
- links created automatically, as well as those populated by
- user manually.
-
- - **example__destroy**
- Detach and unload BPF programs, free up all the resources
- used by skeleton and BPF object.
-
- If BPF object has global variables, corresponding structs
- with memory layout corresponding to global data data section
- layout will be created. Currently supported ones are: *.data*,
- *.bss*, *.rodata*, and *.kconfig* structs/data sections.
- These data sections/structs can be used to set up initial
- values of variables, if set before **example__load**.
- Afterwards, if target kernel supports memory-mapped BPF
- arrays, same structs can be used to fetch and update
- (non-read-only) data from userspace, with same simplicity
- as for BPF side.
-
- **bpftool gen subskeleton** *FILE*
- Generate BPF subskeleton C header file for a given *FILE*.
-
- Subskeletons are similar to skeletons, except they do not own
- the corresponding maps, programs, or global variables. They
- require that the object file used to generate them is already
- loaded into a *bpf_object* by some other means.
-
- This functionality is useful when a library is included into a
- larger BPF program. A subskeleton for the library would have
- access to all objects and globals defined in it, without
- having to know about the larger program.
-
- Consequently, there are only two functions defined
- for subskeletons:
-
- - **example__open(bpf_object\*)**
- Instantiates a subskeleton from an already opened (but not
- necessarily loaded) **bpf_object**.
-
- - **example__destroy()**
- Frees the storage for the subskeleton but *does not* unload
- any BPF programs or maps.
-
- **bpftool** **gen min_core_btf** *INPUT* *OUTPUT* *OBJECT* [*OBJECT*...]
- Generate a minimum BTF file as *OUTPUT*, derived from a given
- *INPUT* BTF file, containing all needed BTF types so one, or
- more, given eBPF objects CO-RE relocations may be satisfied.
-
- When kernels aren't compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF,
- libbpf, when loading an eBPF object, has to rely on external
- BTF files to be able to calculate CO-RE relocations.
-
- Usually, an external BTF file is built from existing kernel
- DWARF data using pahole. It contains all the types used by
- its respective kernel image and, because of that, is big.
-
- The min_core_btf feature builds smaller BTF files, customized
- to one or multiple eBPF objects, so they can be distributed
- together with an eBPF CO-RE based application, turning the
- application portable to different kernel versions.
-
- Check examples bellow for more information how to use it.

DESCRIPTION
===========
- **bpftool net { show | list }** [ **dev** *NAME* ]
- List bpf program attachments in the kernel networking subsystem.
-
- Currently, device driver xdp attachments, tcx, netkit and old-style tc
- classifier/action attachments, flow_dissector as well as netfilter
- attachments are implemented, i.e., for
- program types **BPF_PROG_TYPE_XDP**, **BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS**,
- **BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_ACT**, **BPF_PROG_TYPE_FLOW_DISSECTOR**,
- **BPF_PROG_TYPE_NETFILTER**.
-
- For programs attached to a particular cgroup, e.g.,
- **BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB**, **BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK**,
- **BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS** and **BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR**,
- users can use **bpftool cgroup** to dump cgroup attachments.
- For sk_{filter, skb, msg, reuseport} and lwt/seg6
- bpf programs, users should consult other tools, e.g., iproute2.
-
- The current output will start with all xdp program attachments, followed by
- all tcx, netkit, then tc class/qdisc bpf program attachments, then flow_dissector
- and finally netfilter programs. Both xdp programs and tcx/netkit/tc programs are
- ordered based on ifindex number. If multiple bpf programs attached
- to the same networking device through **tc**, the order will be first
- all bpf programs attached to tcx, netkit, then tc classes, then all bpf programs
- attached to non clsact qdiscs, and finally all bpf programs attached
- to root and clsact qdisc.
-
- **bpftool** **net attach** *ATTACH_TYPE* *PROG* **dev** *NAME* [ **overwrite** ]
- Attach bpf program *PROG* to network interface *NAME* with
- type specified by *ATTACH_TYPE*. Previously attached bpf program
- can be replaced by the command used with **overwrite** option.
- Currently, only XDP-related modes are supported for *ATTACH_TYPE*.
-
- *ATTACH_TYPE* can be of:
- **xdp** - try native XDP and fallback to generic XDP if NIC driver does not support it;
- **xdpgeneric** - Generic XDP. runs at generic XDP hook when packet already enters receive path as skb;
- **xdpdrv** - Native XDP. runs earliest point in driver's receive path;
- **xdpoffload** - Offload XDP. runs directly on NIC on each packet reception;
-
- **bpftool** **net detach** *ATTACH_TYPE* **dev** *NAME*
- Detach bpf program attached to network interface *NAME* with
- type specified by *ATTACH_TYPE*. To detach bpf program, same
- *ATTACH_TYPE* previously used for attach must be specified.
- Currently, only XDP-related modes are supported for *ATTACH_TYPE*.

DESCRIPTION
===========
- **bpftool prog { show | list }** [*PROG*]
- Show information about loaded programs. If *PROG* is
- specified show information only about given programs,
- otherwise list all programs currently loaded on the system.
- In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several
- programs which will all be shown.
-
- Output will start with program ID followed by program type and
- zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
-
- Since Linux 5.1 the kernel can collect statistics on BPF
- programs (such as the total time spent running the program,
- and the number of times it was run). If available, bpftool
- shows such statistics. However, the kernel does not collect
- them by defaults, as it slightly impacts performance on each
- program run. Activation or deactivation of the feature is
- performed via the **kernel.bpf_stats_enabled** sysctl knob.
-
- Since Linux 5.8 bpftool is able to discover information about
- processes that hold open file descriptors (FDs) against BPF
- programs. On such kernels bpftool will automatically emit this
- information as well.
-
- **bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | [**opcodes**] [**linum**] [**visual**] }]
- Dump eBPF instructions of the programs from the kernel. By
- default, eBPF will be disassembled and printed to standard
- output in human-readable format. In this case, **opcodes**
- controls if raw opcodes should be printed as well.
-
- In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several
- programs which will all be dumped. However, if **file** or
- **visual** is specified, *PROG* must match a single program.
-
- If **file** is specified, the binary image will instead be
- written to *FILE*.
-
- If **visual** is specified, control flow graph (CFG) will be
- built instead, and eBPF instructions will be presented with
- CFG in DOT format, on standard output.
-
- If the programs have line_info available, the source line will
- be displayed. If **linum** is specified, the filename, line
- number and line column will also be displayed.
-
- **bpftool prog dump jited** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | [**opcodes**] [**linum**] }]
- Dump jited image (host machine code) of the program.
-
- If *FILE* is specified image will be written to a file,
- otherwise it will be disassembled and printed to stdout.
- *PROG* must match a single program when **file** is specified.
-
- **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed.
-
- If the prog has line_info available, the source line will
- be displayed. If **linum** is specified, the filename, line
- number and line column will also be displayed.
-
- **bpftool prog pin** *PROG* *FILE*
- Pin program *PROG* as *FILE*.
-
- Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
- contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
- extensions of *bpffs*.
-
- **bpftool prog { load | loadall }** *OBJ* *PATH* [**type** *TYPE*] [**map** { **idx** *IDX* | **name** *NAME* } *MAP*] [{ **offload_dev** | **xdpmeta_dev** } *NAME*] [**pinmaps** *MAP_DIR*] [**autoattach**]
- Load bpf program(s) from binary *OBJ* and pin as *PATH*.
- **bpftool prog load** pins only the first program from the
- *OBJ* as *PATH*. **bpftool prog loadall** pins all programs
- from the *OBJ* under *PATH* directory.
- **type** is optional, if not specified program type will be
- inferred from section names.
- By default bpftool will create new maps as declared in the ELF
- object being loaded. **map** parameter allows for the reuse
- of existing maps. It can be specified multiple times, each
- time for a different map. *IDX* refers to index of the map
- to be replaced in the ELF file counting from 0, while *NAME*
- allows to replace a map by name. *MAP* specifies the map to
- use, referring to it by **id** or through a **pinned** file.
- If **offload_dev** *NAME* is specified program will be loaded
- onto given networking device (offload).
- If **xdpmeta_dev** *NAME* is specified program will become
- device-bound without offloading, this facilitates access
- to XDP metadata.
- Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all
- maps under *MAP_DIR* directory.
-
- If **autoattach** 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 object file, in particular, it's not
- supported for all program types. If a program does not
- support autoattach, bpftool falls back to regular pinning
- for that program instead.
-
- Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
- contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
- extensions of *bpffs*.
-
- **bpftool prog attach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
- Attach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
- *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
- parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
- attached to current networking name space.
-
- **bpftool prog detach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
- Detach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
- *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
- parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
- detached from the current networking name space.
-
- **bpftool prog tracelog**
- Dump the trace pipe of the system to the console (stdout).
- Hit <Ctrl+C> to stop printing. BPF programs can write to this
- trace pipe at runtime with the **bpf_trace_printk**\ () helper.
- This should be used only for debugging purposes. For
- streaming data from BPF programs to user space, one can use
- perf events (see also **bpftool-map**\ (8)).
-
- **bpftool prog run** *PROG* **data_in** *FILE* [**data_out** *FILE* [**data_size_out** *L*]] [**ctx_in** *FILE* [**ctx_out** *FILE* [**ctx_size_out** *M*]]] [**repeat** *N*]
- Run BPF program *PROG* in the kernel testing infrastructure
- for BPF, meaning that the program works on the data and
- context provided by the user, and not on actual packets or
- monitored functions etc. Return value and duration for the
- test run are printed out to the console.
-
- Input data is read from the *FILE* passed with **data_in**.
- If this *FILE* is "**-**", input data is read from standard
- input. Input context, if any, is read from *FILE* passed with
- **ctx_in**. Again, "**-**" can be used to read from standard
- input, but only if standard input is not already in use for
- input data. If a *FILE* is passed with **data_out**, output
- data is written to that file. Similarly, output context is
- written to the *FILE* passed with **ctx_out**. For both
- output flows, "**-**" can be used to print to the standard
- output (as plain text, or JSON if relevant option was
- passed). If output keywords are omitted, output data and
- context are discarded. Keywords **data_size_out** and
- **ctx_size_out** are used to pass the size (in bytes) for the
- output buffers to the kernel, although the default of 32 kB
- should be more than enough for most cases.
-
- Keyword **repeat** is used to indicate the number of
- consecutive runs to perform. Note that output data and
- context printed to files correspond to the last of those
- runs. The duration printed out at the end of the runs is an
- average over all runs performed by the command.
-
- Not all program types support test run. Among those which do,
- not all of them can take the **ctx_in**/**ctx_out**
- arguments. bpftool does not perform checks on program types.
-
- **bpftool prog profile** *PROG* [**duration** *DURATION*] *METRICs*
- Profile *METRICs* for bpf program *PROG* for *DURATION*
- seconds or until user hits <Ctrl+C>. *DURATION* is optional.
- If *DURATION* is not specified, the profiling will run up to
- **UINT_MAX** seconds.
-
- **bpftool prog help**
- Print short help message.

-
- -f, --bpffs
- When showing BPF programs, show file names of pinned
- programs.
-
- -m, --mapcompat
- Allow loading maps with unknown map definitions.
-
- -n, --nomount
- Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system
- (such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary.
-
- -L, --use-loader
- Load program as a "loader" program. This is useful to debug
- the generation of such programs. When this option is in
- use, bpftool attempts to load the programs from the object
- file into the kernel, but does not pin them (therefore, the
- *PATH* must not be provided).
-
- When combined with the **-d**\ \|\ **--debug** option,
- additional debug messages are generated, and the execution
- of the loader program will use the **bpf_trace_printk**\ ()
- helper to log each step of loading BTF, creating the maps,
- and loading the programs (see **bpftool prog tracelog** as
- a way to dump those messages).

===========
- **bpftool struct_ops { show | list }** [*STRUCT_OPS_MAP*]
- Show brief information about the struct_ops in the system.
- If *STRUCT_OPS_MAP* is specified, it shows information only
- for the given struct_ops. Otherwise, it lists all struct_ops
- currently existing in the system.
-
- Output will start with struct_ops map ID, followed by its map
- name and its struct_ops's kernel type.
-
- **bpftool struct_ops dump** [*STRUCT_OPS_MAP*]
- Dump details information about the struct_ops in the system.
- If *STRUCT_OPS_MAP* is specified, it dumps information only
- for the given struct_ops. Otherwise, it dumps all struct_ops
- currently existing in the system.
-
- **bpftool struct_ops register** *OBJ* [*LINK_DIR*]
- Register bpf struct_ops from *OBJ*. All struct_ops under
- the ELF section ".struct_ops" and ".struct_ops.link" will
- be registered to its kernel subsystem. For each
- struct_ops in the ".struct_ops.link" section, a link
- will be created. You can give *LINK_DIR* to provide a
- directory path where these links will be pinned with the
- same name as their corresponding map name.
-
- **bpftool struct_ops unregister** *STRUCT_OPS_MAP*
- Unregister the *STRUCT_OPS_MAP* from the kernel subsystem.
-
- **bpftool struct_ops help**
- Print short help message.

+ Register bpf struct_ops from *OBJ*. All struct_ops under the ELF section
+ ".struct_ops" and ".struct_ops.link" will be registered to its kernel
+ subsystem. For each struct_ops in the ".struct_ops.link" section, a link
+ will be created. You can give *LINK_DIR* to provide a directory path where
