51DESCRIPTION
52===========
53	**bpftool prog { show | list }** [*PROG*]
54		  Show information about loaded programs.  If *PROG* is
55		  specified show information only about given program, otherwise
56		  list all programs currently loaded on the system.
57
58		  Output will start with program ID followed by program type and
59		  zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
60
61		  Since Linux 5.1 the kernel can collect statistics on BPF
62		  programs (such as the total time spent running the program,
63		  and the number of times it was run). If available, bpftool
64		  shows such statistics. However, the kernel does not collect
65		  them by defaults, as it slightly impacts performance on each
66		  program run. Activation or deactivation of the feature is
67		  performed via the **kernel.bpf_stats_enabled** sysctl knob.
68
69	**bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **visual** | **linum** }]
70		  Dump eBPF instructions of the program from the kernel. By
71		  default, eBPF will be disassembled and printed to standard
72		  output in human-readable format. In this case, **opcodes**
73		  controls if raw opcodes should be printed as well.
74
75		  If **file** is specified, the binary image will instead be
76		  written to *FILE*.
77
78		  If **visual** is specified, control flow graph (CFG) will be
79		  built instead, and eBPF instructions will be presented with
80		  CFG in DOT format, on standard output.
81
82		  If the prog has line_info available, the source line will
83		  be displayed by default.  If **linum** is specified,
84		  the filename, line number and line column will also be
85		  displayed on top of the source line.
86
87	**bpftool prog dump jited**  *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **linum** }]
88		  Dump jited image (host machine code) of the program.
89		  If *FILE* is specified image will be written to a file,
90		  otherwise it will be disassembled and printed to stdout.
91
92		  **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed.
93
94		  If the prog has line_info available, the source line will
95		  be displayed by default.  If **linum** is specified,
96		  the filename, line number and line column will also be
97		  displayed on top of the source line.
98
99	**bpftool prog pin** *PROG* *FILE*
100		  Pin program *PROG* as *FILE*.
101
102		  Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
103		  contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
104		  extensions of *bpffs*.
105
106	**bpftool prog { load | loadall }** *OBJ* *PATH* [**type** *TYPE*] [**map** {**idx** *IDX* | **name** *NAME*} *MAP*] [**dev** *NAME*] [**pinmaps** *MAP_DIR*]
107		  Load bpf program(s) from binary *OBJ* and pin as *PATH*.
108		  **bpftool prog load** pins only the first program from the
109		  *OBJ* as *PATH*. **bpftool prog loadall** pins all programs
110		  from the *OBJ* under *PATH* directory.
111		  **type** is optional, if not specified program type will be
112		  inferred from section names.
113		  By default bpftool will create new maps as declared in the ELF
114		  object being loaded.  **map** parameter allows for the reuse
115		  of existing maps.  It can be specified multiple times, each
116		  time for a different map.  *IDX* refers to index of the map
117		  to be replaced in the ELF file counting from 0, while *NAME*
118		  allows to replace a map by name.  *MAP* specifies the map to
119		  use, referring to it by **id** or through a **pinned** file.
120		  If **dev** *NAME* is specified program will be loaded onto
121		  given networking device (offload).
122		  Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all
123		  maps under *MAP_DIR* directory.
124
125		  Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
126		  contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
127		  extensions of *bpffs*.
128
129	**bpftool prog attach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
130		  Attach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
131		  *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
132		  parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
133		  attached to current networking name space.
134
135	**bpftool prog detach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
136		  Detach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
137		  *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
138		  parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
139		  detached from the current networking name space.
140
141	**bpftool prog tracelog**
142		  Dump the trace pipe of the system to the console (stdout).
143		  Hit <Ctrl+C> to stop printing. BPF programs can write to this
144		  trace pipe at runtime with the **bpf_trace_printk()** helper.
145		  This should be used only for debugging purposes. For
146		  streaming data from BPF programs to user space, one can use
147		  perf events (see also **bpftool-map**\ (8)).
148
149	**bpftool prog help**
150		  Print short help message.
151
152OPTIONS
153=======
154	-h, --help
155		  Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
156
157	-V, --version
158		  Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).
159
160	-j, --json
161		  Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this
162		  option has no effect.
163
164	-p, --pretty
165		  Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**.
166
167	-f, --bpffs
168		  When showing BPF programs, show file names of pinned
169		  programs.
170
171	-m, --mapcompat
172		  Allow loading maps with unknown map definitions.
173
174	-n, --nomount
175		  Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system
176		  (such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary.
177
178	-d, --debug
179		  Print all logs available, even debug-level information. This
180		  includes logs from libbpf as well as from the verifier, when
181		  attempting to load programs.
