47DESCRIPTION
48===========
49	**bpftool map { show | list }**   [*MAP*]
50		  Show information about loaded maps.  If *MAP* is specified
51		  show information only about given map, otherwise list all
52		  maps currently loaded on the system.
53
54		  Output will start with map ID followed by map type and
55		  zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
56
57	**bpftool map create** *FILE* **type** *TYPE* **key** *KEY_SIZE* **value** *VALUE_SIZE*  **entries** *MAX_ENTRIES* **name** *NAME* [**flags** *FLAGS*] [**dev** *NAME*]
58		  Create a new map with given parameters and pin it to *bpffs*
59		  as *FILE*.
60
61	**bpftool map dump**    *MAP*
62		  Dump all entries in a given *MAP*.
63
64	**bpftool map update**  *MAP*  **key** *DATA*   **value** *VALUE* [*UPDATE_FLAGS*]
65		  Update map entry for a given *KEY*.
66
67		  *UPDATE_FLAGS* can be one of: **any** update existing entry
68		  or add if doesn't exit; **exist** update only if entry already
69		  exists; **noexist** update only if entry doesn't exist.
70
71		  If the **hex** keyword is provided in front of the bytes
72		  sequence, the bytes are parsed as hexadeximal values, even if
73		  no "0x" prefix is added. If the keyword is not provided, then
74		  the bytes are parsed as decimal values, unless a "0x" prefix
75		  (for hexadecimal) or a "0" prefix (for octal) is provided.
76
77	**bpftool map lookup**  *MAP*  **key** *DATA*
78		  Lookup **key** in the map.
79
80	**bpftool map getnext** *MAP* [**key** *DATA*]
81		  Get next key.  If *key* is not specified, get first key.
82
83	**bpftool map delete**  *MAP*  **key** *DATA*
84		  Remove entry from the map.
85
86	**bpftool map pin**     *MAP*  *FILE*
87		  Pin map *MAP* as *FILE*.
88
89		  Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount.
90
91	**bpftool** **map event_pipe** *MAP* [**cpu** *N* **index** *M*]
92		  Read events from a BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY map.
93
94		  Install perf rings into a perf event array map and dump
95		  output of any bpf_perf_event_output() call in the kernel.
96		  By default read the number of CPUs on the system and
97		  install perf ring for each CPU in the corresponding index
98		  in the array.
99
100		  If **cpu** and **index** are specified, install perf ring
101		  for given **cpu** at **index** in the array (single ring).
102
103		  Note that installing a perf ring into an array will silently
104		  replace any existing ring.  Any other application will stop
105		  receiving events if it installed its rings earlier.
106
107	**bpftool map help**
108		  Print short help message.
109
110OPTIONS
111=======
112	-h, --help
113		  Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
114
115	-v, --version
116		  Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).
117
118	-j, --json
119		  Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this
120		  option has no effect.
121
122	-p, --pretty
123		  Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**.
124
125	-f, --bpffs
126		  Show file names of pinned maps.
127
