52DESCRIPTION
53===========
54	**bpftool prog { show | list }** [*PROG*]
55		  Show information about loaded programs.  If *PROG* is
56		  specified show information only about given programs,
57		  otherwise list all programs currently loaded on the system.
58		  In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several
59		  programs which will all be shown.
60
61		  Output will start with program ID followed by program type and
62		  zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
63
64		  Since Linux 5.1 the kernel can collect statistics on BPF
65		  programs (such as the total time spent running the program,
66		  and the number of times it was run). If available, bpftool
67		  shows such statistics. However, the kernel does not collect
68		  them by defaults, as it slightly impacts performance on each
69		  program run. Activation or deactivation of the feature is
70		  performed via the **kernel.bpf_stats_enabled** sysctl knob.
71
72	**bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **visual** | **linum** }]
73		  Dump eBPF instructions of the programs from the kernel. By
74		  default, eBPF will be disassembled and printed to standard
75		  output in human-readable format. In this case, **opcodes**
76		  controls if raw opcodes should be printed as well.
77
78		  In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several
79		  programs which will all be dumped.  However, if **file** or
80		  **visual** is specified, *PROG* must match a single program.
81
82		  If **file** is specified, the binary image will instead be
83		  written to *FILE*.
84
85		  If **visual** is specified, control flow graph (CFG) will be
86		  built instead, and eBPF instructions will be presented with
87		  CFG in DOT format, on standard output.
88
89		  If the programs have line_info available, the source line will
90		  be displayed by default.  If **linum** is specified,
91		  the filename, line number and line column will also be
92		  displayed on top of the source line.
93
94	**bpftool prog dump jited**  *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **linum** }]
95		  Dump jited image (host machine code) of the program.
96
97		  If *FILE* is specified image will be written to a file,
98		  otherwise it will be disassembled and printed to stdout.
99		  *PROG* must match a single program when **file** is specified.
100
101		  **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed.
102
103		  If the prog has line_info available, the source line will
104		  be displayed by default.  If **linum** is specified,
105		  the filename, line number and line column will also be
106		  displayed on top of the source line.
107
108	**bpftool prog pin** *PROG* *FILE*
109		  Pin program *PROG* as *FILE*.
110
111		  Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
112		  contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
113		  extensions of *bpffs*.
114
115	**bpftool prog { load | loadall }** *OBJ* *PATH* [**type** *TYPE*] [**map** {**idx** *IDX* | **name** *NAME*} *MAP*] [**dev** *NAME*] [**pinmaps** *MAP_DIR*]
116		  Load bpf program(s) from binary *OBJ* and pin as *PATH*.
117		  **bpftool prog load** pins only the first program from the
118		  *OBJ* as *PATH*. **bpftool prog loadall** pins all programs
119		  from the *OBJ* under *PATH* directory.
120		  **type** is optional, if not specified program type will be
121		  inferred from section names.
122		  By default bpftool will create new maps as declared in the ELF
123		  object being loaded.  **map** parameter allows for the reuse
124		  of existing maps.  It can be specified multiple times, each
125		  time for a different map.  *IDX* refers to index of the map
126		  to be replaced in the ELF file counting from 0, while *NAME*
127		  allows to replace a map by name.  *MAP* specifies the map to
128		  use, referring to it by **id** or through a **pinned** file.
129		  If **dev** *NAME* is specified program will be loaded onto
130		  given networking device (offload).
131		  Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all
132		  maps under *MAP_DIR* directory.
133
134		  Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
135		  contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
136		  extensions of *bpffs*.
137
138	**bpftool prog attach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
139		  Attach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
140		  *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
141		  parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
142		  attached to current networking name space.
143
144	**bpftool prog detach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
145		  Detach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
146		  *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
147		  parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
148		  detached from the current networking name space.
149
150	**bpftool prog tracelog**
151		  Dump the trace pipe of the system to the console (stdout).
152		  Hit <Ctrl+C> to stop printing. BPF programs can write to this
153		  trace pipe at runtime with the **bpf_trace_printk()** helper.
154		  This should be used only for debugging purposes. For
155		  streaming data from BPF programs to user space, one can use
156		  perf events (see also **bpftool-map**\ (8)).
157
158	**bpftool prog run** *PROG* **data_in** *FILE* [**data_out** *FILE* [**data_size_out** *L*]] [**ctx_in** *FILE* [**ctx_out** *FILE* [**ctx_size_out** *M*]]] [**repeat** *N*]
159		  Run BPF program *PROG* in the kernel testing infrastructure
160		  for BPF, meaning that the program works on the data and
161		  context provided by the user, and not on actual packets or
162		  monitored functions etc. Return value and duration for the
163		  test run are printed out to the console.
164
165		  Input data is read from the *FILE* passed with **data_in**.
166		  If this *FILE* is "**-**", input data is read from standard
167		  input. Input context, if any, is read from *FILE* passed with
168		  **ctx_in**. Again, "**-**" can be used to read from standard
169		  input, but only if standard input is not already in use for
170		  input data. If a *FILE* is passed with **data_out**, output
171		  data is written to that file. Similarly, output context is
172		  written to the *FILE* passed with **ctx_out**. For both
173		  output flows, "**-**" can be used to print to the standard
174		  output (as plain text, or JSON if relevant option was
175		  passed). If output keywords are omitted, output data and
176		  context are discarded. Keywords **data_size_out** and
177		  **ctx_size_out** are used to pass the size (in bytes) for the
178		  output buffers to the kernel, although the default of 32 kB
179		  should be more than enough for most cases.
180
181		  Keyword **repeat** is used to indicate the number of
182		  consecutive runs to perform. Note that output data and
183		  context printed to files correspond to the last of those
184		  runs. The duration printed out at the end of the runs is an
185		  average over all runs performed by the command.
186
187		  Not all program types support test run. Among those which do,
188		  not all of them can take the **ctx_in**/**ctx_out**
189		  arguments. bpftool does not perform checks on program types.
190
191	**bpftool prog help**
192		  Print short help message.
193
194OPTIONS
195=======
196	-h, --help
197		  Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
198
199	-V, --version
200		  Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).
201
202	-j, --json
203		  Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this
204		  option has no effect.
205
206	-p, --pretty
207		  Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**.
208
209	-f, --bpffs
210		  When showing BPF programs, show file names of pinned
211		  programs.
212
213	-m, --mapcompat
214		  Allow loading maps with unknown map definitions.
215
216	-n, --nomount
217		  Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system
218		  (such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary.
219
220	-d, --debug
221		  Print all logs available, even debug-level information. This
222		  includes logs from libbpf as well as from the verifier, when
223		  attempting to load programs.
