53DESCRIPTION
54===========
55	**bpftool map { show | list }**   [*MAP*]
56		  Show information about loaded maps.  If *MAP* is specified
57		  show information only about given map, otherwise list all
58		  maps currently loaded on the system.
59
60		  Output will start with map ID followed by map type and
61		  zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
62
63	**bpftool map create** *FILE* **type** *TYPE* **key** *KEY_SIZE* **value** *VALUE_SIZE*  **entries** *MAX_ENTRIES* **name** *NAME* [**flags** *FLAGS*] [**dev** *NAME*]
64		  Create a new map with given parameters and pin it to *bpffs*
65		  as *FILE*.
66
67	**bpftool map dump**    *MAP*
68		  Dump all entries in a given *MAP*.
69
70	**bpftool map update**  *MAP* [**key** *DATA*] [**value** *VALUE*] [*UPDATE_FLAGS*]
71		  Update map entry for a given *KEY*.
72
73		  *UPDATE_FLAGS* can be one of: **any** update existing entry
74		  or add if doesn't exit; **exist** update only if entry already
75		  exists; **noexist** update only if entry doesn't exist.
76
77		  If the **hex** keyword is provided in front of the bytes
78		  sequence, the bytes are parsed as hexadeximal values, even if
79		  no "0x" prefix is added. If the keyword is not provided, then
80		  the bytes are parsed as decimal values, unless a "0x" prefix
81		  (for hexadecimal) or a "0" prefix (for octal) is provided.
82
83	**bpftool map lookup**  *MAP* [**key** *DATA*]
84		  Lookup **key** in the map.
85
86	**bpftool map getnext** *MAP* [**key** *DATA*]
87		  Get next key.  If *key* is not specified, get first key.
88
89	**bpftool map delete**  *MAP*  **key** *DATA*
90		  Remove entry from the map.
91
92	**bpftool map pin**     *MAP*  *FILE*
93		  Pin map *MAP* as *FILE*.
94
95		  Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
96		  contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
97		  extensions of *bpffs*.
98
99	**bpftool** **map event_pipe** *MAP* [**cpu** *N* **index** *M*]
100		  Read events from a BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY map.
101
102		  Install perf rings into a perf event array map and dump
103		  output of any bpf_perf_event_output() call in the kernel.
104		  By default read the number of CPUs on the system and
105		  install perf ring for each CPU in the corresponding index
106		  in the array.
107
108		  If **cpu** and **index** are specified, install perf ring
109		  for given **cpu** at **index** in the array (single ring).
110
111		  Note that installing a perf ring into an array will silently
112		  replace any existing ring.  Any other application will stop
113		  receiving events if it installed its rings earlier.
114
115	**bpftool map peek**  *MAP*
116		  Peek next **value** in the queue or stack.
117
118	**bpftool map push**  *MAP* **value** *VALUE*
119		  Push **value** onto the stack.
120
121	**bpftool map pop**  *MAP*
122		  Pop and print **value** from the stack.
123
124	**bpftool map enqueue**  *MAP* **value** *VALUE*
125		  Enqueue **value** into the queue.
126
127	**bpftool map dequeue**  *MAP*
128		  Dequeue and print **value** from the queue.
129
130	**bpftool map help**
131		  Print short help message.
132
133OPTIONS
134=======
135	-h, --help
136		  Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
137
138	-V, --version
139		  Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).
140
141	-j, --json
142		  Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this
143		  option has no effect.
144
145	-p, --pretty
146		  Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**.
147
148	-f, --bpffs
149		  Show file names of pinned maps.
150
151	-n, --nomount
152		  Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system
153		  (such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary.
154
155	-d, --debug
156		  Print all logs available from libbpf, including debug-level
157		  information.

201Note that map update can also be used in order to change the program references
202hold by a program array map. This can be used, for example, to change the
203programs used for tail-call jumps at runtime, without having to reload the
204entry-point program. Below is an example for this use case: we load a program
205defining a prog array map, and with a main function that contains a tail call
206to other programs that can be used either to "process" packets or to "debug"
207processing. Note that the prog array map MUST be pinned into the BPF virtual
208file system for the map update to work successfully, as kernel flushes prog
209array maps when they have no more references from user space (and the update
210would be lost as soon as bpftool exits).
