+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+ **bpftool prog { show | list }** [*PROG*]
+ Show information about loaded programs. If *PROG* is
+ specified show information only about given programs,
+ otherwise list all programs currently loaded on the system.
+ In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several
+ programs which will all be shown.
+
+ Output will start with program ID followed by program type and
+ zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
+
+ Since Linux 5.1 the kernel can collect statistics on BPF
+ programs (such as the total time spent running the program,
+ and the number of times it was run). If available, bpftool
+ shows such statistics. However, the kernel does not collect
+ them by defaults, as it slightly impacts performance on each
+ program run. Activation or deactivation of the feature is
+ performed via the **kernel.bpf_stats_enabled** sysctl knob.
+
+ Since Linux 5.8 bpftool is able to discover information about
+ processes that hold open file descriptors (FDs) against BPF
+ programs. On such kernels bpftool will automatically emit this
+ information as well.
+
+ **bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **visual** | **linum** }]
+ Dump eBPF instructions of the programs 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.
+
+ In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several
+ programs which will all be dumped. However, if **file** or
+ **visual** is specified, *PROG* must match a single program.
+
+ 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.
+
+ If the programs have line_info available, the source line will
+ be displayed by default. If **linum** is specified,
+ the filename, line number and line column will also be
+ displayed on top of the source line.
+
+ **bpftool prog dump jited** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **linum** }]
+ 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.
+ *PROG* must match a single program when **file** is specified.
+
+ **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed.
+
+ If the prog has line_info available, the source line will
+ be displayed by default. If **linum** is specified,
+ the filename, line number and line column will also be
+ displayed on top of the source line.
+
+ **bpftool prog pin** *PROG* *FILE*
+ Pin program *PROG* 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 prog { load | loadall }** *OBJ* *PATH* [**type** *TYPE*] [**map** {**idx** *IDX* | **name** *NAME*} *MAP*] [**dev** *NAME*] [**pinmaps** *MAP_DIR*]
+ Load bpf program(s) from binary *OBJ* and pin as *PATH*.
+ **bpftool prog load** pins only the first program from the
+ *OBJ* as *PATH*. **bpftool prog loadall** pins all programs
+ from the *OBJ* under *PATH* directory.
+ **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).
+ Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all
+ maps under *MAP_DIR* directory.
+
+ Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
+ contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
+ extensions of *bpffs*.
+
+ **bpftool prog attach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
+ Attach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
+ *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
+ parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
+ attached to current networking name space.
+
+ **bpftool prog detach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
+ Detach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
+ *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
+ parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
+ detached from the current networking name space.
+
+ **bpftool prog tracelog**
+ Dump the trace pipe of the system to the console (stdout).
+ Hit <Ctrl+C> to stop printing. BPF programs can write to this
+ trace pipe at runtime with the **bpf_trace_printk**\ () helper.
+ This should be used only for debugging purposes. For
+ streaming data from BPF programs to user space, one can use
+ perf events (see also **bpftool-map**\ (8)).
+
+ **bpftool prog run** *PROG* **data_in** *FILE* [**data_out** *FILE* [**data_size_out** *L*]] [**ctx_in** *FILE* [**ctx_out** *FILE* [**ctx_size_out** *M*]]] [**repeat** *N*]
+ Run BPF program *PROG* in the kernel testing infrastructure
+ for BPF, meaning that the program works on the data and
+ context provided by the user, and not on actual packets or
+ monitored functions etc. Return value and duration for the
+ test run are printed out to the console.
+
+ Input data is read from the *FILE* passed with **data_in**.
+ If this *FILE* is "**-**", input data is read from standard
+ input. Input context, if any, is read from *FILE* passed with
+ **ctx_in**. Again, "**-**" can be used to read from standard
+ input, but only if standard input is not already in use for
+ input data. If a *FILE* is passed with **data_out**, output
+ data is written to that file. Similarly, output context is
+ written to the *FILE* passed with **ctx_out**. For both
+ output flows, "**-**" can be used to print to the standard
+ output (as plain text, or JSON if relevant option was
+ passed). If output keywords are omitted, output data and
+ context are discarded. Keywords **data_size_out** and
+ **ctx_size_out** are used to pass the size (in bytes) for the
+ output buffers to the kernel, although the default of 32 kB
+ should be more than enough for most cases.
+
+ Keyword **repeat** is used to indicate the number of
+ consecutive runs to perform. Note that output data and
+ context printed to files correspond to the last of those
+ runs. The duration printed out at the end of the runs is an
+ average over all runs performed by the command.
+
+ Not all program types support test run. Among those which do,
+ not all of them can take the **ctx_in**/**ctx_out**
+ arguments. bpftool does not perform checks on program types.
+
+ **bpftool prog profile** *PROG* [**duration** *DURATION*] *METRICs*
+ Profile *METRICs* for bpf program *PROG* for *DURATION*
+ seconds or until user hits <Ctrl+C>. *DURATION* is optional.
+ If *DURATION* is not specified, the profiling will run up to
+ **UINT_MAX** seconds.
+
+ **bpftool prog help**
+ Print short help message.
