56DESCRIPTION
57===========
58	**bpftool map { show | list }**   [*MAP*]
59		  Show information about loaded maps.  If *MAP* is specified
60		  show information only about given maps, otherwise list all
61		  maps currently loaded on the system.  In case of **name**,
62		  *MAP* may match several maps which will all be shown.
63
64		  Output will start with map ID followed by map type and
65		  zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
66
67		  Since Linux 5.8 bpftool is able to discover information about
68		  processes that hold open file descriptors (FDs) against BPF
69		  maps. On such kernels bpftool will automatically emit this
70		  information as well.
71
72	**bpftool map create** *FILE* **type** *TYPE* **key** *KEY_SIZE* **value** *VALUE_SIZE*  **entries** *MAX_ENTRIES* **name** *NAME* [**flags** *FLAGS*] [**inner_map** *MAP*] [**dev** *NAME*]
73		  Create a new map with given parameters and pin it to *bpffs*
74		  as *FILE*.
75
76		  *FLAGS* should be an integer which is the combination of
77		  desired flags, e.g. 1024 for **BPF_F_MMAPABLE** (see bpf.h
78		  UAPI header for existing flags).
79
80		  To create maps of type array-of-maps or hash-of-maps, the
81		  **inner_map** keyword must be used to pass an inner map. The
82		  kernel needs it to collect metadata related to the inner maps
83		  that the new map will work with.
84
85		  Keyword **dev** expects a network interface name, and is used
86		  to request hardware offload for the map.
87
88	**bpftool map dump**    *MAP*
89		  Dump all entries in a given *MAP*.  In case of **name**,
90		  *MAP* may match several maps which will all be dumped.
91
92	**bpftool map update**  *MAP* [**key** *DATA*] [**value** *VALUE*] [*UPDATE_FLAGS*]
93		  Update map entry for a given *KEY*.
94
95		  *UPDATE_FLAGS* can be one of: **any** update existing entry
96		  or add if doesn't exit; **exist** update only if entry already
97		  exists; **noexist** update only if entry doesn't exist.
98
99		  If the **hex** keyword is provided in front of the bytes
100		  sequence, the bytes are parsed as hexadecimal values, even if
101		  no "0x" prefix is added. If the keyword is not provided, then
102		  the bytes are parsed as decimal values, unless a "0x" prefix
103		  (for hexadecimal) or a "0" prefix (for octal) is provided.
104
105	**bpftool map lookup**  *MAP* [**key** *DATA*]
106		  Lookup **key** in the map.
107
108	**bpftool map getnext** *MAP* [**key** *DATA*]
109		  Get next key.  If *key* is not specified, get first key.
110
111	**bpftool map delete**  *MAP*  **key** *DATA*
112		  Remove entry from the map.
113
114	**bpftool map pin**     *MAP*  *FILE*
115		  Pin map *MAP* as *FILE*.
116
117		  Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
118		  contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
119		  extensions of *bpffs*.
120
121	**bpftool** **map event_pipe** *MAP* [**cpu** *N* **index** *M*]
122		  Read events from a **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY** map.
123
124		  Install perf rings into a perf event array map and dump
125		  output of any **bpf_perf_event_output**\ () call in the kernel.
126		  By default read the number of CPUs on the system and
127		  install perf ring for each CPU in the corresponding index
128		  in the array.
129
130		  If **cpu** and **index** are specified, install perf ring
131		  for given **cpu** at **index** in the array (single ring).
132
133		  Note that installing a perf ring into an array will silently
134		  replace any existing ring.  Any other application will stop
135		  receiving events if it installed its rings earlier.
136
137	**bpftool map peek**  *MAP*
138		  Peek next value in the queue or stack.
139
140	**bpftool map push**  *MAP* **value** *VALUE*
141		  Push *VALUE* onto the stack.
142
143	**bpftool map pop**  *MAP*
144		  Pop and print value from the stack.
145
146	**bpftool map enqueue**  *MAP* **value** *VALUE*
147		  Enqueue *VALUE* into the queue.
148
149	**bpftool map dequeue**  *MAP*
150		  Dequeue and print value from the queue.
151
152	**bpftool map freeze**  *MAP*
153		  Freeze the map as read-only from user space. Entries from a
154		  frozen map can not longer be updated or deleted with the
155		  **bpf**\ () system call. This operation is not reversible,
156		  and the map remains immutable from user space until its
157		  destruction. However, read and write permissions for BPF
158		  programs to the map remain unchanged.
159
160	**bpftool map help**
161		  Print short help message.
162

220Note that map update can also be used in order to change the program references
221hold by a program array map. This can be used, for example, to change the
222programs used for tail-call jumps at runtime, without having to reload the
223entry-point program. Below is an example for this use case: we load a program
224defining a prog array map, and with a main function that contains a tail call
225to other programs that can be used either to "process" packets or to "debug"
226processing. Note that the prog array map MUST be pinned into the BPF virtual
227file system for the map update to work successfully, as kernel flushes prog
228array maps when they have no more references from user space (and the update
229would be lost as soon as bpftool exits).
