| DESCRIPTION |
| =========== |
| **bpftool prog { show | list }** [*PROG*] |
| Show information about loaded programs. If *PROG* is |
| specified show information only about given programs, |
| otherwise list all programs currently loaded on the system. |
| In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several |
| programs which will all be shown. |
| |
| Output will start with program ID followed by program type and |
| zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version). |
| |
| Since Linux 5.1 the kernel can collect statistics on BPF |
| programs (such as the total time spent running the program, |
| and the number of times it was run). If available, bpftool |
| shows such statistics. However, the kernel does not collect |
| them by defaults, as it slightly impacts performance on each |
| program run. Activation or deactivation of the feature is |
| performed via the **kernel.bpf_stats_enabled** sysctl knob. |
| |
| Since Linux 5.8 bpftool is able to discover information about |
| processes that hold open file descriptors (FDs) against BPF |
| programs. On such kernels bpftool will automatically emit this |
| information as well. |
| |
| **bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **visual** | **linum** }] |
| Dump eBPF instructions of the programs from the kernel. By |
| default, eBPF will be disassembled and printed to standard |
| output in human-readable format. In this case, **opcodes** |
| controls if raw opcodes should be printed as well. |
| |
| In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several |
| programs which will all be dumped. However, if **file** or |
| **visual** is specified, *PROG* must match a single program. |
| |
| If **file** is specified, the binary image will instead be |
| written to *FILE*. |
| |
| If **visual** is specified, control flow graph (CFG) will be |
| built instead, and eBPF instructions will be presented with |
| CFG in DOT format, on standard output. |
| |
| If the programs have line_info available, the source line will |
| be displayed by default. If **linum** is specified, |
| the filename, line number and line column will also be |
| displayed on top of the source line. |
| |
| **bpftool prog dump jited** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **linum** }] |
| Dump jited image (host machine code) of the program. |
| |
| If *FILE* is specified image will be written to a file, |
| otherwise it will be disassembled and printed to stdout. |
| *PROG* must match a single program when **file** is specified. |
| |
| **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed. |
| |
| If the prog has line_info available, the source line will |
| be displayed by default. If **linum** is specified, |
| the filename, line number and line column will also be |
| displayed on top of the source line. |
| |
| **bpftool prog pin** *PROG* *FILE* |
| Pin program *PROG* as *FILE*. |
| |
| Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not |
| contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future |
| extensions of *bpffs*. |
| |
| **bpftool prog { load | loadall }** *OBJ* *PATH* [**type** *TYPE*] [**map** {**idx** *IDX* | **name** *NAME*} *MAP*] [**dev** *NAME*] [**pinmaps** *MAP_DIR*] |
| Load bpf program(s) from binary *OBJ* and pin as *PATH*. |
| **bpftool prog load** pins only the first program from the |
| *OBJ* as *PATH*. **bpftool prog loadall** pins all programs |
| from the *OBJ* under *PATH* directory. |
| **type** is optional, if not specified program type will be |
| inferred from section names. |
| By default bpftool will create new maps as declared in the ELF |
| object being loaded. **map** parameter allows for the reuse |
| of existing maps. It can be specified multiple times, each |
| time for a different map. *IDX* refers to index of the map |
| to be replaced in the ELF file counting from 0, while *NAME* |
| allows to replace a map by name. *MAP* specifies the map to |
| use, referring to it by **id** or through a **pinned** file. |
| If **dev** *NAME* is specified program will be loaded onto |
| given networking device (offload). |
| Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all |
| maps under *MAP_DIR* directory. |
| |
| Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not |
| contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future |
| extensions of *bpffs*. |
| |
| **bpftool prog attach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*] |
| Attach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by |
| *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP* |
| parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is |
| attached to current networking name space. |
| |
| **bpftool prog detach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*] |
| Detach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by |
| *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP* |
| parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is |
| detached from the current networking name space. |
| |
| **bpftool prog tracelog** |
| Dump the trace pipe of the system to the console (stdout). |
| Hit <Ctrl+C> to stop printing. BPF programs can write to this |
| trace pipe at runtime with the **bpf_trace_printk**\ () helper. |
| This should be used only for debugging purposes. For |
| streaming data from BPF programs to user space, one can use |
| perf events (see also **bpftool-map**\ (8)). |
| |
| **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*] |
| Run BPF program *PROG* in the kernel testing infrastructure |
| for BPF, meaning that the program works on the data and |
| context provided by the user, and not on actual packets or |
| monitored functions etc. Return value and duration for the |
| test run are printed out to the console. |
| |
| Input data is read from the *FILE* passed with **data_in**. |
| If this *FILE* is "**-**", input data is read from standard |
| input. Input context, if any, is read from *FILE* passed with |
| **ctx_in**. Again, "**-**" can be used to read from standard |
| input, but only if standard input is not already in use for |
| input data. If a *FILE* is passed with **data_out**, output |
| data is written to that file. Similarly, output context is |
| written to the *FILE* passed with **ctx_out**. For both |
| output flows, "**-**" can be used to print to the standard |
| output (as plain text, or JSON if relevant option was |
| passed). If output keywords are omitted, output data and |
| context are discarded. Keywords **data_size_out** and |
| **ctx_size_out** are used to pass the size (in bytes) for the |
| output buffers to the kernel, although the default of 32 kB |
| should be more than enough for most cases. |
| |
| Keyword **repeat** is used to indicate the number of |
| consecutive runs to perform. Note that output data and |
| context printed to files correspond to the last of those |
| runs. The duration printed out at the end of the runs is an |
| average over all runs performed by the command. |
| |
| Not all program types support test run. Among those which do, |
| not all of them can take the **ctx_in**/**ctx_out** |
| arguments. bpftool does not perform checks on program types. |
| |
| **bpftool prog profile** *PROG* [**duration** *DURATION*] *METRICs* |
| Profile *METRICs* for bpf program *PROG* for *DURATION* |
| seconds or until user hits <Ctrl+C>. *DURATION* is optional. |
| If *DURATION* is not specified, the profiling will run up to |
| **UINT_MAX** seconds. |
| |
| **bpftool prog help** |
| Print short help message. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ======= |
| -h, --help |
| Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**). |
| |
| -V, --version |
| Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**). |
| |
| -j, --json |
| Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this |
| option has no effect. |
| |
| -p, --pretty |
| Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**. |
| |
| -f, --bpffs |
| When showing BPF programs, show file names of pinned |
| programs. |
| |
| -m, --mapcompat |
| Allow loading maps with unknown map definitions. |
| |
| -n, --nomount |
| Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system |
| (such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary. |
| |
| -d, --debug |
| Print all logs available, even debug-level information. This |
| includes logs from libbpf as well as from the verifier, when |
| attempting to load programs. |
