+ * Minimal BPF assembler
+ *
+ * Instead of libpcap high-level filter expressions, it can be quite
+ * useful to define filters in low-level BPF assembler (that is kept
+ * close to Steven McCanne and Van Jacobson's original BPF paper).
+ * In particular for BPF JIT implementors, JIT security auditors, or
+ * just for defining BPF expressions that contain extensions which are
+ * not supported by compilers.
+ *
+ * How to get into it:
+ *
+ * 1) read Documentation/networking/filter.rst
+ * 2) Run `bpf_asm [-c] <filter-prog file>` to translate into binary
+ * blob that is loadable with xt_bpf, cls_bpf et al. Note: -c will
+ * pretty print a C-like construct.
+ *
