DESCRIPTION
===========
	**bpftool map { show | list }**   [*MAP*]
		  Show information about loaded maps.  If *MAP* is specified
		  show information only about given maps, otherwise list all
		  maps currently loaded on the system.  In case of **name**,
		  *MAP* may match several maps which will all be shown.

		  Output will start with map ID followed by map type and
		  zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).

	**bpftool map create** *FILE* **type** *TYPE* **key** *KEY_SIZE* **value** *VALUE_SIZE*  **entries** *MAX_ENTRIES* **name** *NAME* [**flags** *FLAGS*] [**dev** *NAME*]
		  Create a new map with given parameters and pin it to *bpffs*
		  as *FILE*.

		  *FLAGS* should be an integer which is the combination of
		  desired flags, e.g. 1024 for **BPF_F_MMAPABLE** (see bpf.h
		  UAPI header for existing flags).

		  Keyword **dev** expects a network interface name, and is used
		  to request hardware offload for the map.

	**bpftool map dump**    *MAP*
		  Dump all entries in a given *MAP*.  In case of **name**,
		  *MAP* may match several maps which will all be dumped.

	**bpftool map update**  *MAP* [**key** *DATA*] [**value** *VALUE*] [*UPDATE_FLAGS*]
		  Update map entry for a given *KEY*.

		  *UPDATE_FLAGS* can be one of: **any** update existing entry
		  or add if doesn't exit; **exist** update only if entry already
		  exists; **noexist** update only if entry doesn't exist.

		  If the **hex** keyword is provided in front of the bytes
		  sequence, the bytes are parsed as hexadecimal values, even if
		  no "0x" prefix is added. If the keyword is not provided, then
		  the bytes are parsed as decimal values, unless a "0x" prefix
		  (for hexadecimal) or a "0" prefix (for octal) is provided.

	**bpftool map lookup**  *MAP* [**key** *DATA*]
		  Lookup **key** in the map.

	**bpftool map getnext** *MAP* [**key** *DATA*]
		  Get next key.  If *key* is not specified, get first key.

	**bpftool map delete**  *MAP*  **key** *DATA*
		  Remove entry from the map.

	**bpftool map pin**     *MAP*  *FILE*
		  Pin map *MAP* 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** **map event_pipe** *MAP* [**cpu** *N* **index** *M*]
		  Read events from a **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY** map.

		  Install perf rings into a perf event array map and dump
		  output of any **bpf_perf_event_output**\ () call in the kernel.
		  By default read the number of CPUs on the system and
		  install perf ring for each CPU in the corresponding index
		  in the array.

		  If **cpu** and **index** are specified, install perf ring
		  for given **cpu** at **index** in the array (single ring).

		  Note that installing a perf ring into an array will silently
		  replace any existing ring.  Any other application will stop
		  receiving events if it installed its rings earlier.

	**bpftool map peek**  *MAP*
		  Peek next value in the queue or stack.

	**bpftool map push**  *MAP* **value** *VALUE*
		  Push *VALUE* onto the stack.

	**bpftool map pop**  *MAP*
		  Pop and print value from the stack.

	**bpftool map enqueue**  *MAP* **value** *VALUE*
		  Enqueue *VALUE* into the queue.

	**bpftool map dequeue**  *MAP*
		  Dequeue and print value from the queue.

	**bpftool map freeze**  *MAP*
		  Freeze the map as read-only from user space. Entries from a
		  frozen map can not longer be updated or deleted with the
		  **bpf**\ () system call. This operation is not reversible,
		  and the map remains immutable from user space until its
		  destruction. However, read and write permissions for BPF
		  programs to the map remain unchanged.

	**bpftool map 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
		  Show file names of pinned maps.

	-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 from libbpf, including debug-level
		  information.

EXAMPLES
========
**# bpftool map show**
::

  10: hash  name some_map  flags 0x0
	key 4B  value 8B  max_entries 2048  memlock 167936B

The following three commands are equivalent:

|
| **# bpftool map update id 10 key hex   20   c4   b7   00 value hex   0f   ff   ff   ab   01   02   03   4c**
| **# bpftool map update id 10 key     0x20 0xc4 0xb7 0x00 value     0x0f 0xff 0xff 0xab 0x01 0x02 0x03 0x4c**
| **# bpftool map update id 10 key       32  196  183    0 value       15  255  255  171    1    2    3   76**

**# bpftool map lookup id 10 key 0 1 2 3**

::

  key: 00 01 02 03 value: 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07


**# bpftool map dump id 10**
::

  key: 00 01 02 03  value: 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07
  key: 0d 00 07 00  value: 02 00 00 00 01 02 03 04
  Found 2 elements

**# bpftool map getnext id 10 key 0 1 2 3**
::

  key:
  00 01 02 03
  next key:
  0d 00 07 00

|
| **# mount -t bpf none /sys/fs/bpf/**
| **# bpftool map pin id 10 /sys/fs/bpf/map**
| **# bpftool map del pinned /sys/fs/bpf/map key 13 00 07 00**

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