49DESCRIPTION
50===========
51	**bpftool prog { show | list }** [*PROG*]
52		  Show information about loaded programs.  If *PROG* is
53		  specified show information only about given program, otherwise
54		  list all programs currently loaded on the system.
55
56		  Output will start with program ID followed by program type and
57		  zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
58
59	**bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **visual** | **linum** }]
60		  Dump eBPF instructions of the program from the kernel. By
61		  default, eBPF will be disassembled and printed to standard
62		  output in human-readable format. In this case, **opcodes**
63		  controls if raw opcodes should be printed as well.
64
65		  If **file** is specified, the binary image will instead be
66		  written to *FILE*.
67
68		  If **visual** is specified, control flow graph (CFG) will be
69		  built instead, and eBPF instructions will be presented with
70		  CFG in DOT format, on standard output.
71
72		  If the prog has line_info available, the source line will
73		  be displayed by default.  If **linum** is specified,
74		  the filename, line number and line column will also be
75		  displayed on top of the source line.
76
77	**bpftool prog dump jited**  *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **linum** }]
78		  Dump jited image (host machine code) of the program.
79		  If *FILE* is specified image will be written to a file,
80		  otherwise it will be disassembled and printed to stdout.
81
82		  **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed.
83
84		  If the prog has line_info available, the source line will
85		  be displayed by default.  If **linum** is specified,
86		  the filename, line number and line column will also be
87		  displayed on top of the source line.
88
89	**bpftool prog pin** *PROG* *FILE*
90		  Pin program *PROG* as *FILE*.
91
92		  Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
93		  contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
94		  extensions of *bpffs*.
95
96	**bpftool prog { load | loadall }** *OBJ* *PATH* [**type** *TYPE*] [**map** {**idx** *IDX* | **name** *NAME*} *MAP*] [**dev** *NAME*] [**pinmaps** *MAP_DIR*]
97		  Load bpf program(s) from binary *OBJ* and pin as *PATH*.
98		  **bpftool prog load** pins only the first program from the
99		  *OBJ* as *PATH*. **bpftool prog loadall** pins all programs
100		  from the *OBJ* under *PATH* directory.
101		  **type** is optional, if not specified program type will be
102		  inferred from section names.
103		  By default bpftool will create new maps as declared in the ELF
104		  object being loaded.  **map** parameter allows for the reuse
105		  of existing maps.  It can be specified multiple times, each
106		  time for a different map.  *IDX* refers to index of the map
107		  to be replaced in the ELF file counting from 0, while *NAME*
108		  allows to replace a map by name.  *MAP* specifies the map to
109		  use, referring to it by **id** or through a **pinned** file.
110		  If **dev** *NAME* is specified program will be loaded onto
111		  given networking device (offload).
112		  Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all
113		  maps under *MAP_DIR* directory.
114
115		  Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
116		  contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
117		  extensions of *bpffs*.
118
119	**bpftool prog attach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
120		  Attach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
121		  *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
122		  parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
123		  attached to current networking name space.
124
125	**bpftool prog detach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
126		  Detach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
127		  *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
128		  parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
129		  detached from the current networking name space.
130
131	**bpftool prog tracelog**
132		  Dump the trace pipe of the system to the console (stdout).
133		  Hit <Ctrl+C> to stop printing. BPF programs can write to this
134		  trace pipe at runtime with the **bpf_trace_printk()** helper.
135		  This should be used only for debugging purposes. For
136		  streaming data from BPF programs to user space, one can use
137		  perf events (see also **bpftool-map**\ (8)).
138
139	**bpftool prog help**
140		  Print short help message.
141
142OPTIONS
143=======
144	-h, --help
145		  Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
146
147	-v, --version
148		  Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).
149
150	-j, --json
151		  Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this
152		  option has no effect.
153
154	-p, --pretty
155		  Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**.
156
157	-f, --bpffs
158		  When showing BPF programs, show file names of pinned
159		  programs.
160
161	-m, --mapcompat
162		  Allow loading maps with unknown map definitions.
163
164	-n, --nomount
165		  Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system
166		  (such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary.
