BPFTOOL - tool for inspection and simple manipulation of eBPF programs and maps
Contents
Description
bpftool allows for inspection and simple modification of BPF objects on the system.
Note that format of the output of all tools is not guaranteed to be stable and should not be depended
upon.
Name
BPFTOOL - tool for inspection and simple manipulation of eBPF programs and maps
Options
-h, --help
Print short help message (similar to bpftoolhelp).
-V, --version
Print bpftool's version number (similar to bpftoolversion), the number of the libbpf version in
use, and optional features that were included when bpftool was compiled. Optional features include
linking against LLVM or libbfd to provide the disassembler for JIT-ted programs (bpftoolprogdumpjited) and usage of BPF skeletons (some features like bpftoolprogprofile or showing pids
associated to BPF objects may rely on it).
-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.
-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.
-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.
