3  * Minimal BPF assembler
4  *
5  * Instead of libpcap high-level filter expressions, it can be quite
6  * useful to define filters in low-level BPF assembler (that is kept
7  * close to Steven McCanne and Van Jacobson's original BPF paper).
8  * In particular for BPF JIT implementors, JIT security auditors, or
9  * just for defining BPF expressions that contain extensions which are
10  * not supported by compilers.
11  *
12  * How to get into it:
13  *
14  * 1) read Documentation/networking/filter.rst
15  * 2) Run `bpf_asm [-c] <filter-prog file>` to translate into binary
16  *    blob that is loadable with xt_bpf, cls_bpf et al. Note: -c will
17  *    pretty print a C-like construct.
