bashreadline - Print entered bash commands system wide. Uses Linux eBPF/bcc.

       Brendan Gregg

       bashreadline  traces  the return of the readline() function using uprobes, to show the bash commands that
       were entered interactively, system wide. The entered command may fail: this  is  just  showing  what  was
       entered.

       This program is also a basic example of eBPF/bcc and uprobes.

       This  makes  use  of  a  Linux 4.4 feature (bpf_perf_event_output()); for kernels older than 4.4, see the
       version under tools/old, which uses an older mechanism

       Since this uses BPF, only the root user can use this tool.

       Trace bash commands system wide:
              # bashreadline

       TIME   Time of the command (HH:MM:SS).

       PID    Process ID of the bash shell.

       COMMAND
              Entered command.

       -h     Print usage message.

       -s     Specify the location of libreadline.so shared library when you failed to run the  script  directly
              with  error:  "Exception:  could  not  determine  address  of symbol ´readline´". Default value is
              /lib/libreadline.so.

       Linux

       As the rate of interactive bash commands is expected to be very  low  (<<100/s),  the  overhead  of  this
       program is expected to be negligible.
