52 **bpftool prog { show | list }** [*PROG*]
53 Show information about loaded programs. If *PROG* is
54 specified show information only about given program, otherwise
55 list all programs currently loaded on the system.
57 Output will start with program ID followed by program type and
58 zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
60 Since Linux 5.1 the kernel can collect statistics on BPF
61 programs (such as the total time spent running the program,
62 and the number of times it was run). If available, bpftool
63 shows such statistics. However, the kernel does not collect
64 them by defaults, as it slightly impacts performance on each
65 program run. Activation or deactivation of the feature is
66 performed via the **kernel.bpf_stats_enabled** sysctl knob.
68 **bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **visual** | **linum** }]
69 Dump eBPF instructions of the program from the kernel. By
70 default, eBPF will be disassembled and printed to standard
71 output in human-readable format. In this case, **opcodes**
72 controls if raw opcodes should be printed as well.
74 If **file** is specified, the binary image will instead be
77 If **visual** is specified, control flow graph (CFG) will be
78 built instead, and eBPF instructions will be presented with
79 CFG in DOT format, on standard output.
81 If the prog has line_info available, the source line will
82 be displayed by default. If **linum** is specified,
83 the filename, line number and line column will also be
84 displayed on top of the source line.
86 **bpftool prog dump jited** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **linum** }]
87 Dump jited image (host machine code) of the program.
88 If *FILE* is specified image will be written to a file,
89 otherwise it will be disassembled and printed to stdout.
91 **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed.
93 If the prog has line_info available, the source line will
94 be displayed by default. If **linum** is specified,
95 the filename, line number and line column will also be
96 displayed on top of the source line.
98 **bpftool prog pin** *PROG* *FILE*
99 Pin program *PROG* as *FILE*.
101 Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
102 contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
103 extensions of *bpffs*.
105 **bpftool prog { load | loadall }** *OBJ* *PATH* [**type** *TYPE*] [**map** {**idx** *IDX* | **name** *NAME*} *MAP*] [**dev** *NAME*] [**pinmaps** *MAP_DIR*]
106 Load bpf program(s) from binary *OBJ* and pin as *PATH*.
107 **bpftool prog load** pins only the first program from the
108 *OBJ* as *PATH*. **bpftool prog loadall** pins all programs
109 from the *OBJ* under *PATH* directory.
110 **type** is optional, if not specified program type will be
111 inferred from section names.
112 By default bpftool will create new maps as declared in the ELF
113 object being loaded. **map** parameter allows for the reuse
114 of existing maps. It can be specified multiple times, each
115 time for a different map. *IDX* refers to index of the map
116 to be replaced in the ELF file counting from 0, while *NAME*
117 allows to replace a map by name. *MAP* specifies the map to
118 use, referring to it by **id** or through a **pinned** file.
119 If **dev** *NAME* is specified program will be loaded onto
120 given networking device (offload).
121 Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all
122 maps under *MAP_DIR* directory.
124 Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
125 contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
126 extensions of *bpffs*.
128 **bpftool prog attach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
129 Attach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
130 *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
131 parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
132 attached to current networking name space.
134 **bpftool prog detach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
135 Detach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
136 *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
137 parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
138 detached from the current networking name space.
140 **bpftool prog tracelog**
141 Dump the trace pipe of the system to the console (stdout).
142 Hit <Ctrl+C> to stop printing. BPF programs can write to this
143 trace pipe at runtime with the **bpf_trace_printk()** helper.
144 This should be used only for debugging purposes. For
145 streaming data from BPF programs to user space, one can use
146 perf events (see also **bpftool-map**\ (8)).
148 **bpftool prog help**
149 Print short help message.
154 Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
157 Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).
160 Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this
161 option has no effect.
164 Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**.
167 When showing BPF programs, show file names of pinned
171 Allow loading maps with unknown map definitions.
174 Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system
175 (such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary.
