If *LINK* is + specified show information only about given link, + otherwise list all links currently active on the system. + + Output will start with link ID followed by link type and + zero or more named attributes, some of which depend on type + of link. + + Since Linux 5.8 bpftool is able to discover information about + processes that hold open file descriptors (FDs) against BPF + links. On such kernels bpftool will automatically emit this + information as well. + + **bpftool link pin** *LINK* *FILE* + Pin link *LINK* as *FILE*. + + Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount.

BPF link and its underlying BPF + program will stay valid, but they will be detached from the + respective BPF hook and BPF link will transition into + a defunct state until last open file descriptor for that + link is closed. + + **bpftool link help** + Print short help message. + +OPTIONS +======= + .. include:: common_options.rst + + -f, --bpffs + When showing BPF links, show file names of pinned + links. + + -n, --nomount + Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system + (such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary. + +EXAMPLES +======== +**# bpftool link show** + +:: + + 10: cgroup prog 25 + cgroup_id 614 attach_type egress + pids test_progs(223) + +**# bpftool --json --pretty link show** + +:: + + [{ + "type": "cgroup", + "prog_id": 25, + "cgroup_id": 614, + "attach_type": "egress", + "pids": [{ + "pid": 223, + "comm": "test_progs" + } + ] + } + ] + +| +| **# bpftool link pin id 10 /sys/fs/bpf/link** +| **# ls -l /sys/fs/bpf/** + +:: + + -rw------- 1 root root 0 Apr 23 21:39 link |
