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