/* name of hook */ 91 char ifMatch[NG_HOOKSIZ]; /* match dest hook */ 92 char ifNotMatch[NG_HOOKSIZ]; /* !match dest hook */ 93 int32_t bpf_prog_len; /* #insns in program */ 94 struct bpf_insn bpf_prog[]; /* bpf program */ 95}; 96.Ed 97.Pp 98The hook to be updated is specified in 99.Dv thisHook . 100The BPF program is the sequence of instructions in the 101.Dv bpf_prog 102array; there must be 103.Dv bpf_prog_len 104of them. 105Matching and non-matching incoming packets are delivered out the hooks named 106.Dv ifMatch 107and 108.Dv ifNotMatch , 109respectively. 110The program must be a valid 111.Xr bpf 4 112program or else 113.Er EINVAL 114is returned. 115.It Dv NGM_BPF_GET_PROGRAM Pq Ic getprogram 116This command takes an 117.Tn ASCII 118string argument, the hook name, and returns the 119corresponding 120.Dv "struct ng_bpf_hookprog" 121as shown above. 122.It Dv NGM_BPF_GET_STATS Pq Ic getstats 123This command takes an 124.Tn ASCII 125string argument, the hook name, and returns the 126statistics associated with the hook as a 127.Dv "struct ng_bpf_hookstat" . 128.It Dv NGM_BPF_CLR_STATS Pq Ic clrstats 129This command takes an 130.Tn ASCII 131string argument, the hook name, and clears the 132statistics associated with the hook. 133.It Dv NGM_BPF_GETCLR_STATS Pq Ic getclrstats 134This command is identical to 135.Dv NGM_BPF_GET_STATS , 136except that the statistics are also atomically cleared. 137.El 138.Sh SHUTDOWN 139This node shuts down upon receipt of a 140.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN 141control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected. 142.Sh EXAMPLES 143It is possible to configure a node from the command line, using 144.Xr tcpdump 1 145to generate raw BPF instructions which are then fed into an 146.Xr awk 1 147script to create the ASCII form of a 148.Dv NGM_BPF_SET_PROGRAM 149control message, as demonstrated here: 150.Bd -literal -offset 4n 151#!/bin/sh 152 153PATTERN="tcp dst port 80" 154NODEPATH="my_node:" 155INHOOK="hook1" 156MATCHHOOK="hook2" 157NOTMATCHHOOK="hook3" 158 159BPFPROG=$( tcpdump -s 8192 -p -ddd ${PATTERN} | \\ 160 ( read len ;
