40DESCRIPTION
41===========
42	**bpftool map { show | list }**   [*MAP*]
43		  Show information about loaded maps.  If *MAP* is specified
44		  show information only about given map, otherwise list all
45		  maps currently loaded on the system.
46
47		  Output will start with map ID followed by map type and
48		  zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
49
50	**bpftool map dump**    *MAP*
51		  Dump all entries in a given *MAP*.
52
53	**bpftool map update**  *MAP*  **key** *DATA*   **value** *VALUE* [*UPDATE_FLAGS*]
54		  Update map entry for a given *KEY*.
55
56		  *UPDATE_FLAGS* can be one of: **any** update existing entry
57		  or add if doesn't exit; **exist** update only if entry already
58		  exists; **noexist** update only if entry doesn't exist.
59
60		  If the **hex** keyword is provided in front of the bytes
61		  sequence, the bytes are parsed as hexadeximal values, even if
62		  no "0x" prefix is added. If the keyword is not provided, then
63		  the bytes are parsed as decimal values, unless a "0x" prefix
64		  (for hexadecimal) or a "0" prefix (for octal) is provided.
65
66	**bpftool map lookup**  *MAP*  **key** *DATA*
67		  Lookup **key** in the map.
68
69	**bpftool map getnext** *MAP* [**key** *DATA*]
70		  Get next key.  If *key* is not specified, get first key.
71
72	**bpftool map delete**  *MAP*  **key** *DATA*
73		  Remove entry from the map.
74
75	**bpftool map pin**     *MAP*  *FILE*
76		  Pin map *MAP* as *FILE*.
77
78		  Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount.
79
80	**bpftool** **map event_pipe** *MAP* [**cpu** *N* **index** *M*]
81		  Read events from a BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY map.
82
83		  Install perf rings into a perf event array map and dump
84		  output of any bpf_perf_event_output() call in the kernel.
85		  By default read the number of CPUs on the system and
86		  install perf ring for each CPU in the corresponding index
87		  in the array.
88
89		  If **cpu** and **index** are specified, install perf ring
90		  for given **cpu** at **index** in the array (single ring).
91
92		  Note that installing a perf ring into an array will silently
93		  replace any existing ring.  Any other application will stop
94		  receiving events if it installed its rings earlier.
95
96	**bpftool map help**
97		  Print short help message.
98
99OPTIONS
100=======
101	-h, --help
102		  Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
103
104	-v, --version
105		  Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).
106
107	-j, --json
108		  Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this
109		  option has no effect.
110
111	-p, --pretty
112		  Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**.
113
114	-f, --bpffs
115		  Show file names of pinned maps.
116
