52DESCRIPTION
53===========
54	**bpftool prog { show | list }** [*PROG*]
55		  Show information about loaded programs.  If *PROG* is
56		  specified show information only about given program, otherwise
57		  list all programs currently loaded on the system.
58
59		  Output will start with program ID followed by program type and
60		  zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
61
62		  Since Linux 5.1 the kernel can collect statistics on BPF
63		  programs (such as the total time spent running the program,
64		  and the number of times it was run). If available, bpftool
65		  shows such statistics. However, the kernel does not collect
66		  them by defaults, as it slightly impacts performance on each
67		  program run. Activation or deactivation of the feature is
68		  performed via the **kernel.bpf_stats_enabled** sysctl knob.
69
70	**bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **visual** | **linum** }]
71		  Dump eBPF instructions of the program from the kernel. By
72		  default, eBPF will be disassembled and printed to standard
73		  output in human-readable format. In this case, **opcodes**
74		  controls if raw opcodes should be printed as well.
75
76		  If **file** is specified, the binary image will instead be
77		  written to *FILE*.
78
79		  If **visual** is specified, control flow graph (CFG) will be
80		  built instead, and eBPF instructions will be presented with
81		  CFG in DOT format, on standard output.
82
83		  If the prog has line_info available, the source line will
84		  be displayed by default.  If **linum** is specified,
85		  the filename, line number and line column will also be
86		  displayed on top of the source line.
87
88	**bpftool prog dump jited**  *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **linum** }]
89		  Dump jited image (host machine code) of the program.
90		  If *FILE* is specified image will be written to a file,
91		  otherwise it will be disassembled and printed to stdout.
92
93		  **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed.
94
95		  If the prog has line_info available, the source line will
96		  be displayed by default.  If **linum** is specified,
97		  the filename, line number and line column will also be
98		  displayed on top of the source line.
99
100	**bpftool prog pin** *PROG* *FILE*
101		  Pin program *PROG* as *FILE*.
102
103		  Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
104		  contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
105		  extensions of *bpffs*.
106
107	**bpftool prog { load | loadall }** *OBJ* *PATH* [**type** *TYPE*] [**map** {**idx** *IDX* | **name** *NAME*} *MAP*] [**dev** *NAME*] [**pinmaps** *MAP_DIR*]
108		  Load bpf program(s) from binary *OBJ* and pin as *PATH*.
109		  **bpftool prog load** pins only the first program from the
110		  *OBJ* as *PATH*. **bpftool prog loadall** pins all programs
111		  from the *OBJ* under *PATH* directory.
112		  **type** is optional, if not specified program type will be
113		  inferred from section names.
114		  By default bpftool will create new maps as declared in the ELF
115		  object being loaded.  **map** parameter allows for the reuse
116		  of existing maps.  It can be specified multiple times, each
117		  time for a different map.  *IDX* refers to index of the map
118		  to be replaced in the ELF file counting from 0, while *NAME*
119		  allows to replace a map by name.  *MAP* specifies the map to
120		  use, referring to it by **id** or through a **pinned** file.
121		  If **dev** *NAME* is specified program will be loaded onto
122		  given networking device (offload).
123		  Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all
124		  maps under *MAP_DIR* directory.
125
126		  Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
127		  contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
128		  extensions of *bpffs*.
129
130	**bpftool prog attach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
131		  Attach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
132		  *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
133		  parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
134		  attached to current networking name space.
135
136	**bpftool prog detach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
137		  Detach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
138		  *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
139		  parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
140		  detached from the current networking name space.
141
142	**bpftool prog tracelog**
143		  Dump the trace pipe of the system to the console (stdout).
144		  Hit <Ctrl+C> to stop printing. BPF programs can write to this
145		  trace pipe at runtime with the **bpf_trace_printk()** helper.
146		  This should be used only for debugging purposes. For
147		  streaming data from BPF programs to user space, one can use
148		  perf events (see also **bpftool-map**\ (8)).
149
150	**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*]
151		  Run BPF program *PROG* in the kernel testing infrastructure
152		  for BPF, meaning that the program works on the data and
153		  context provided by the user, and not on actual packets or
154		  monitored functions etc. Return value and duration for the
155		  test run are printed out to the console.
156
157		  Input data is read from the *FILE* passed with **data_in**.
158		  If this *FILE* is "**-**", input data is read from standard
159		  input. Input context, if any, is read from *FILE* passed with
160		  **ctx_in**. Again, "**-**" can be used to read from standard
161		  input, but only if standard input is not already in use for
162		  input data. If a *FILE* is passed with **data_out**, output
163		  data is written to that file. Similarly, output context is
164		  written to the *FILE* passed with **ctx_out**. For both
165		  output flows, "**-**" can be used to print to the standard
166		  output (as plain text, or JSON if relevant option was
167		  passed). If output keywords are omitted, output data and
168		  context are discarded. Keywords **data_size_out** and
169		  **ctx_size_out** are used to pass the size (in bytes) for the
170		  output buffers to the kernel, although the default of 32 kB
171		  should be more than enough for most cases.
172
173		  Keyword **repeat** is used to indicate the number of
174		  consecutive runs to perform. Note that output data and
175		  context printed to files correspond to the last of those
176		  runs. The duration printed out at the end of the runs is an
177		  average over all runs performed by the command.
178
179		  Not all program types support test run. Among those which do,
180		  not all of them can take the **ctx_in**/**ctx_out**
181		  arguments. bpftool does not perform checks on program types.
182
183	**bpftool prog help**
184		  Print short help message.
185
186OPTIONS
187=======
188	-h, --help
189		  Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
190
191	-V, --version
192		  Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).
193
194	-j, --json
195		  Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this
196		  option has no effect.
197
198	-p, --pretty
199		  Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**.
200
201	-f, --bpffs
202		  When showing BPF programs, show file names of pinned
203		  programs.
204
205	-m, --mapcompat
206		  Allow loading maps with unknown map definitions.
207
208	-n, --nomount
209		  Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system
210		  (such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary.
211
212	-d, --debug
213		  Print all logs available, even debug-level information. This
214		  includes logs from libbpf as well as from the verifier, when
215		  attempting to load programs.
