+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+ **bpftool cgroup { show | list }** *CGROUP*
+ List all programs attached to the cgroup *CGROUP*.
+
+ Output will start with program ID followed by attach type,
+ attach flags and program name.
+
+ **bpftool cgroup tree** [*CGROUP_ROOT*]
+ Iterate over all cgroups in *CGROUP_ROOT* and list all
+ attached programs. If *CGROUP_ROOT* is not specified,
+ bpftool uses cgroup v2 mountpoint.
+
+ The output is similar to the output of cgroup show/list
+ commands: it starts with absolute cgroup path, followed by
+ program ID, attach type, attach flags and program name.
+
+ **bpftool cgroup attach** *CGROUP* *ATTACH_TYPE* *PROG* [*ATTACH_FLAGS*]
+ Attach program *PROG* to the cgroup *CGROUP* with attach type
+ *ATTACH_TYPE* and optional *ATTACH_FLAGS*.
+
+ *ATTACH_FLAGS* can be one of: **override** if a sub-cgroup installs
+ some bpf program, the program in this cgroup yields to sub-cgroup
+ program; **multi** if a sub-cgroup installs some bpf program,
+ that cgroup program gets run in addition to the program in this
+ cgroup.
+
+ Only one program is allowed to be attached to a cgroup with
+ no attach flags or the **override** flag. Attaching another
+ program will release old program and attach the new one.
+
+ Multiple programs are allowed to be attached to a cgroup with
+ **multi**. They are executed in FIFO order (those that were
+ attached first, run first).
+
+ Non-default *ATTACH_FLAGS* are supported by kernel version 4.14
+ and later.
+
+ *ATTACH_TYPE* can be on of:
+ **ingress** ingress path of the inet socket (since 4.10);
+ **egress** egress path of the inet socket (since 4.10);
+ **sock_create** opening of an inet socket (since 4.10);
+ **sock_ops** various socket operations (since 4.12);
+ **device** device access (since 4.15);
+ **bind4** call to bind(2) for an inet4 socket (since 4.17);
+ **bind6** call to bind(2) for an inet6 socket (since 4.17);
+ **post_bind4** return from bind(2) for an inet4 socket (since 4.17);
+ **post_bind6** return from bind(2) for an inet6 socket (since 4.17);
+ **connect4** call to connect(2) for an inet4 socket (since 4.17);
+ **connect6** call to connect(2) for an inet6 socket (since 4.17);
+ **sendmsg4** call to sendto(2), sendmsg(2), sendmmsg(2) for an
+ unconnected udp4 socket (since 4.18);
+ **sendmsg6** call to sendto(2), sendmsg(2), sendmmsg(2) for an
+ unconnected udp6 socket (since 4.18).
+
+ **bpftool cgroup detach** *CGROUP* *ATTACH_TYPE* *PROG*
+ Detach *PROG* from the cgroup *CGROUP* and attach type
+ *ATTACH_TYPE*.
+
+ **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

+ option has no effect.

+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+ **bpftool map { show | list }** [*MAP*]
+ Show information about loaded maps. If *MAP* is specified
+ show information only about given map, otherwise list all
+ maps currently loaded on the system.
+
+ Output will start with map ID followed by map type and
+ zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
+
+ **bpftool map dump** *MAP*
+ Dump all entries in a given *MAP*.
+
+ **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 hexadeximal 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.
+
+ **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 help**
+ Print short help message.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+ -h, --help
+ Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
+

+ Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).
+

+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+ **bpftool prog { show | list }** [*PROG*]
+ Show information about loaded programs. If *PROG* is
+ specified show information only about given program, otherwise
+ list all programs currently loaded on the system.
+
+ Output will start with program ID followed by program type and
+ zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
+
+ **bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **visual** }]
+ Dump eBPF instructions of the program 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ **bpftool prog dump jited** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** }]
+ 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.
+
+ **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed.
+
+ **bpftool prog pin** *PROG* *FILE*
+ Pin program *PROG* as *FILE*.
+
+ Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount.
+
+ **bpftool prog load** *OBJ* *FILE* [**type** *TYPE*] [**map** {**idx** *IDX* | **name** *NAME*} *MAP*] [**dev** *NAME*]
+ Load bpf program from binary *OBJ* and pin as *FILE*.
+ **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).
+
+ Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount.
+
+ **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
+ Show file names of pinned programs.

+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.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+ -h, --help
+ Print short 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**.
