DESCRIPTION
===========
**bpftool prog { show | list }** [*PROG*]
Show information about loaded programs. If *PROG* is
specified show information only about given programs,
otherwise list all programs currently loaded on the system.
In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several
programs which will all be shown.
Output will start with program ID followed by program type and
zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
Since Linux 5.1 the kernel can collect statistics on BPF
programs (such as the total time spent running the program,
and the number of times it was run). If available, bpftool
shows such statistics. However, the kernel does not collect
them by defaults, as it slightly impacts performance on each
program run. Activation or deactivation of the feature is
performed via the **kernel.bpf_stats_enabled** sysctl knob.
**bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **visual** | **linum** }]
Dump eBPF instructions of the programs from the kernel. By
default, eBPF will be disassembled and printed to standard
output in human-readable format. In this case, **opcodes**
controls if raw opcodes should be printed as well.
In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several
programs which will all be dumped. However, if **file** or
**visual** is specified, *PROG* must match a single program.
If **file** is specified, the binary image will instead be
written to *FILE*.
If **visual** is specified, control flow graph (CFG) will be
built instead, and eBPF instructions will be presented with
CFG in DOT format, on standard output.
If the programs have line_info available, the source line will
be displayed by default. If **linum** is specified,
the filename, line number and line column will also be
displayed on top of the source line.
**bpftool prog dump jited** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **linum** }]
Dump jited image (host machine code) of the program.
If *FILE* is specified image will be written to a file,
otherwise it will be disassembled and printed to stdout.
*PROG* must match a single program when **file** is specified.
**opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed.
If the prog has line_info available, the source line will
be displayed by default. If **linum** is specified,
the filename, line number and line column will also be
displayed on top of the source line.
**bpftool prog pin** *PROG* *FILE*
Pin program *PROG* as *FILE*.
Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
extensions of *bpffs*.
**bpftool prog { load | loadall }** *OBJ* *PATH* [**type** *TYPE*] [**map** {**idx** *IDX* | **name** *NAME*} *MAP*] [**dev** *NAME*] [**pinmaps** *MAP_DIR*]
Load bpf program(s) from binary *OBJ* and pin as *PATH*.
**bpftool prog load** pins only the first program from the
*OBJ* as *PATH*. **bpftool prog loadall** pins all programs
from the *OBJ* under *PATH* directory.
**type** is optional, if not specified program type will be
inferred from section names.
By default bpftool will create new maps as declared in the ELF
object being loaded. **map** parameter allows for the reuse
of existing maps. It can be specified multiple times, each
time for a different map. *IDX* refers to index of the map
to be replaced in the ELF file counting from 0, while *NAME*
allows to replace a map by name. *MAP* specifies the map to
use, referring to it by **id** or through a **pinned** file.
If **dev** *NAME* is specified program will be loaded onto
given networking device (offload).
Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all
maps under *MAP_DIR* directory.
Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
extensions of *bpffs*.
**bpftool prog attach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
Attach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
*ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
attached to current networking name space.
**bpftool prog detach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
Detach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
*ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
detached from the current networking name space.
**bpftool prog tracelog**
Dump the trace pipe of the system to the console (stdout).
Hit <Ctrl+C> to stop printing. BPF programs can write to this
trace pipe at runtime with the **bpf_trace_printk**\ () helper.
This should be used only for debugging purposes. For
streaming data from BPF programs to user space, one can use
perf events (see also **bpftool-map**\ (8)).
**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*]
Run BPF program *PROG* in the kernel testing infrastructure
for BPF, meaning that the program works on the data and
context provided by the user, and not on actual packets or
monitored functions etc. Return value and duration for the
test run are printed out to the console.
Input data is read from the *FILE* passed with **data_in**.
If this *FILE* is "**-**", input data is read from standard
input. Input context, if any, is read from *FILE* passed with
**ctx_in**. Again, "**-**" can be used to read from standard
input, but only if standard input is not already in use for
input data. If a *FILE* is passed with **data_out**, output
data is written to that file. Similarly, output context is
written to the *FILE* passed with **ctx_out**. For both
output flows, "**-**" can be used to print to the standard
output (as plain text, or JSON if relevant option was
passed). If output keywords are omitted, output data and
context are discarded. Keywords **data_size_out** and
**ctx_size_out** are used to pass the size (in bytes) for the
output buffers to the kernel, although the default of 32 kB
should be more than enough for most cases.
Keyword **repeat** is used to indicate the number of
consecutive runs to perform. Note that output data and
context printed to files correspond to the last of those
runs. The duration printed out at the end of the runs is an
average over all runs performed by the command.
Not all program types support test run. Among those which do,
not all of them can take the **ctx_in**/**ctx_out**
arguments. bpftool does not perform checks on program types.
**bpftool prog profile** *PROG* [**duration** *DURATION*] *METRICs*
Profile *METRICs* for bpf program *PROG* for *DURATION*
seconds or until user hits <Ctrl+C>. *DURATION* is optional.
If *DURATION* is not specified, the profiling will run up to
**UINT_MAX** seconds.
**bpftool prog help**
Print short help message.
OPTIONS
=======
-h, --help
Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
-V, --version
Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).
-j, --json
Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this
option has no effect.
-p, --pretty
Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**.
-f, --bpffs
When showing BPF programs, show file names of pinned
programs.
-m, --mapcompat
Allow loading maps with unknown map definitions.
-n, --nomount
Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system
(such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary.
-d, --debug
Print all logs available, even debug-level information. This
includes logs from libbpf as well as from the verifier, when
attempting to load programs.
