54DESCRIPTION
55===========
56	**bpftool map { show | list }**   [*MAP*]
57		  Show information about loaded maps.  If *MAP* is specified
58		  show information only about given maps, otherwise list all
59		  maps currently loaded on the system.  In case of **name**,
60		  *MAP* may match several maps which will all be shown.
61
62		  Output will start with map ID followed by map type and
63		  zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
64
65	**bpftool map create** *FILE* **type** *TYPE* **key** *KEY_SIZE* **value** *VALUE_SIZE*  **entries** *MAX_ENTRIES* **name** *NAME* [**flags** *FLAGS*] [**dev** *NAME*]
66		  Create a new map with given parameters and pin it to *bpffs*
67		  as *FILE*.
68
69	**bpftool map dump**    *MAP*
70		  Dump all entries in a given *MAP*.  In case of **name**,
71		  *MAP* may match several maps which will all be dumped.
72
73	**bpftool map update**  *MAP* [**key** *DATA*] [**value** *VALUE*] [*UPDATE_FLAGS*]
74		  Update map entry for a given *KEY*.
75
76		  *UPDATE_FLAGS* can be one of: **any** update existing entry
77		  or add if doesn't exit; **exist** update only if entry already
78		  exists; **noexist** update only if entry doesn't exist.
79
80		  If the **hex** keyword is provided in front of the bytes
81		  sequence, the bytes are parsed as hexadeximal values, even if
82		  no "0x" prefix is added. If the keyword is not provided, then
83		  the bytes are parsed as decimal values, unless a "0x" prefix
84		  (for hexadecimal) or a "0" prefix (for octal) is provided.
85
86	**bpftool map lookup**  *MAP* [**key** *DATA*]
87		  Lookup **key** in the map.
88
89	**bpftool map getnext** *MAP* [**key** *DATA*]
90		  Get next key.  If *key* is not specified, get first key.
91
92	**bpftool map delete**  *MAP*  **key** *DATA*
93		  Remove entry from the map.
94
95	**bpftool map pin**     *MAP*  *FILE*
96		  Pin map *MAP* as *FILE*.
97
98		  Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
99		  contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
100		  extensions of *bpffs*.
101
102	**bpftool** **map event_pipe** *MAP* [**cpu** *N* **index** *M*]
103		  Read events from a BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY map.
104
105		  Install perf rings into a perf event array map and dump
106		  output of any bpf_perf_event_output() call in the kernel.
107		  By default read the number of CPUs on the system and
108		  install perf ring for each CPU in the corresponding index
109		  in the array.
110
111		  If **cpu** and **index** are specified, install perf ring
112		  for given **cpu** at **index** in the array (single ring).
113
114		  Note that installing a perf ring into an array will silently
115		  replace any existing ring.  Any other application will stop
116		  receiving events if it installed its rings earlier.
117
118	**bpftool map peek**  *MAP*
119		  Peek next **value** in the queue or stack.
120
121	**bpftool map push**  *MAP* **value** *VALUE*
122		  Push **value** onto the stack.
123
124	**bpftool map pop**  *MAP*
125		  Pop and print **value** from the stack.
126
127	**bpftool map enqueue**  *MAP* **value** *VALUE*
128		  Enqueue **value** into the queue.
129
130	**bpftool map dequeue**  *MAP*
131		  Dequeue and print **value** from the queue.
132
133	**bpftool map freeze**  *MAP*
134		  Freeze the map as read-only from user space. Entries from a
135		  frozen map can not longer be updated or deleted with the
136		  **bpf\ ()** system call. This operation is not reversible,
137		  and the map remains immutable from user space until its
138		  destruction. However, read and write permissions for BPF
139		  programs to the map remain unchanged.
140
141	**bpftool map help**
142		  Print short help message.
143
144OPTIONS
145=======
146	-h, --help
147		  Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
148
149	-V, --version
150		  Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).
151
152	-j, --json
153		  Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this
154		  option has no effect.
155
156	-p, --pretty
157		  Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**.
158
159	-f, --bpffs
160		  Show file names of pinned maps.
161
162	-n, --nomount
163		  Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system
164		  (such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary.
165
166	-d, --debug
167		  Print all logs available from libbpf, including debug-level
168		  information.

212Note that map update can also be used in order to change the program references
213hold by a program array map. This can be used, for example, to change the
214programs used for tail-call jumps at runtime, without having to reload the
215entry-point program. Below is an example for this use case: we load a program
216defining a prog array map, and with a main function that contains a tail call
217to other programs that can be used either to "process" packets or to "debug"
218processing. Note that the prog array map MUST be pinned into the BPF virtual
219file system for the map update to work successfully, as kernel flushes prog
220array maps when they have no more references from user space (and the update
221would be lost as soon as bpftool exits).
